Suggest Treatment For Fever And Vomiting In An Autistic Child

Please get him to a physician for evaluation and treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM
I have gone through the query and do understand your concern.
Fever on and off for ten days and now vomiting can be due to some intestinal infection.
In mumps there is swelling of cheek area on one side or may be both side. Also fever remains of high grade with upper respiratory symptoms. As you have not mentioned any of these I don't think this is mumps. Leg pain can be there due to fever and is common in this age if it is not severe enough to disturb walking or standing.
Similarly spider bite also presents with different symptoms.
Unattended infection may get worsened and it immediate care should be taken for this . Frequent vomiting may cause dehydration and further complications.
For time being you may give acetaminophen for fever and ondensetron for vomiting.
I would request you to get him evaluated by a physician as early as possible for better care.
I hope this helps.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Wishing for your child's good health.
Regards
