Suggest Remedy For Vomiting And Low Grade Fever In A Child

Hello. Thanks for being here. My 4yr-old has been vomiting most of the day. Her fever has been 100 but is responding to meds. She s had a little Gatorade and a few crackers today. All of that came back up fairly quickly. How many hours of this before I should be concerned? Thanks much! jen

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your child is probably suffering from acute gastroenteritis or stomach upset. He is losing salt and water by vomiting and unless those are replenished, he would soon be suffering from dehydration and so you should intervene immediately and need not wait to be concerned after dehydration sets in. You need to give the child Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). Mix a full sachet of ORS in a litre of water and give it sip by sip frequently. Also give half a tablet of Ondem MD 4mg thrice daily before food or as per requirement, to reduce the vomiting. You need not be worried about the cause and the vomiting will come down in a day or two. ORS will be the mainstay of treatment till then.
