Brief Answer:
I think he has had a very severe attack of indigestion/acidity,
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think he has had a very severe attack of indigestion/acidity, most probably following the tooth extraction for which he may have been given strong pain killers and antibiotics.
Give him an Omeprazole plus a digestive enzyme, plus a liquid antacid with simethicone in it--all twice a day for three days.
Domperidone is good for heaves. There are other drugs that can be prescribed by your doctor.
He should take his Blood pressure medicine if necessary after taking Ondensetron to prevent vomiting.
Get a prescription from a physician for above medicines.
If the fever does not subside, please consult your doctor or go to ER.
You can revert back to me. Regards
