Hi,

Your child is likely to be suffering from viral fever and vomiting is part and parcel of the same illness.
The vomiting after eating the tender coconut was just co-incidental.

For fever you should continue giving her paracetamol 10-15mg/kg/dose every 4-6 hrly and also give her an antiemetic so that vomiting is under control.Thereafter maintain hydration by giving her liquids like juices and light diet .

If her fever does not subside in 3days then get in touch with her doctor.

Take care.
