Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If it started today only, no need to worry now- this may be a simple viral fever or beginning of acute gastroenteritis. Just give her paracetamol 3-4 times a day and ondansetron suspension 5ml 2-3 times a day for 2 days. She will be alright by then. She may develop loose stools also by next day, give ORS solution after each bowel movement to avoid dehydration. Feeding should be in frequent small amounts to avoid vomiting. If fever / vomiting does not subside, or not feeding, please take her to your doctor for further management

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
