Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Fever associated with vomiting is normally seen in viral illness. If there is no associated sore throat or cold or signs of infection anywhere in the body then giving Meftal P and giving him a good supportive treatment will help in controlling the viral infection in 3-5 days. You can repeat the dosage of Meftal P after every 6 hours. Giving him Domstal syrup will help in reducing the vomiting.
Follow the supportive measures mentioned below to see beneficial response.
1. Cold sponges might be helpful to reduce the body temperature.
2. Give cold fluids orally in unlimited amounts (reason: good hydration replaces sweat and improves heat loss via skin).
3. Dress in 1 layer of light weight clothing (avoid bundling). (Caution: overheated kids can't undress themselves.)
4. Drink boiled and properly filtered water.
5. Increase fluid intake – glucose water, soups, fresh juices, coconut water.
6. Diet must be planned judiciously to provide good dose of vitamins especially vitamin A and vitamin C as these are essential for the regenerative purpose.
7. High fluid and soft diet in small frequency is recommended.
8. Food must be appetizing and made after considering the likes and dislikes of the patient.
9. Fatty, highly fibrous and very spicy foods should be avoided as they are hard to digest.
You might consult a pediatrician who can examine him and prescribe the proper antibiotics and supportive medications.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Wishing you good health.
