Hello,
As per your clinical history is concerned, please follow like this:
1) Do take all medications as per your treating Doctor’s advice.
2) Regarding vomiting, you can discuss with your Doctor about [domperidone] before taking any medications.
3) Regarding fever, you can discuss [Paracetamol] and if never allow temp to go above 102 and do sponging to reduce it. You can also discuss injectable medication for it.
Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:
1) Try to prevent common colds and other illnesses. Teach your children to wash their hands frequently and thoroughly and to not share eating and drinking utensils.
2) Avoid secondhand smoke. Make sure that no one smokes in your home.
3) Do Breastfeed your baby. If possible, breastfeed your baby for at least six months. Breast milk contains antibodies that may offer protection from ear infections. If you bottle-feed, hold your baby in an upright position. Avoid propping a bottle in your baby's mouth while she is lying down. Don't put bottles in the crib with your baby.
4) Talk to your doctor about vaccinations like Seasonal flu shots and pneumococcal vaccines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
