Suggest Remedies For Vomiting And Fever In My Child
My 2 1/2 year old starting vomiting about an hour ago, and has a slight fever. It s very thick and coming out of her nose. She doesn t want anything to drink, and I haven t tried to feed her anything. How much it too much, should I take her to the er? I m very very worried please help
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.
