Does Urinary Tract Infection Cause Fever And Vomiting In A Child?

Depends on the diagnoses she has. Observe her general condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.
How much you were risking,depends on the diagnoses that your granddaughter has.
If she has a urinary tract infection, she is risking a lot because the infection may spread to the kidneys and cause permanent damage.
If she has just a viral GI infection, then she can get dehydrated, but it is not an emergency if she can keep fluids down.
I think the second diagnoses is more likely to be the cause especially if she continues to vomit and has other symptoms except fever.
Give her plenty of fluids - small amounts but often so she can empty her bladder often.
Observe her. Her general condition is the most important element. If she is not worse but better, then she is going to be fine. If she gets worse, then go to the ER, without waiting for tomorrow.
Hope this makes sense and answers your question.
Let me know if you have other questions or concerns.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
