Hi,
I understand your concern.
-. First keep a record of his temperature reading of the fever by using thermometer for 2 days every 2hourly.Sometime body gets warm,because of weakness,still temperature remains normal.
- If you find definite rise/fall in temperature, your child needs an expert child specialist's consultation, needful investigations & specific treatment.
- The blood in vomit must be due to starving out of loosing appetite. Offer him cold milk( not freezed)/non spicy food to avoid it, Consult your doctor for use of Ranitidine syrup., in case it repeats.
- For lac of appetite, mild rise in body temperature- he needs-
- Rest, easy to digest, nutritive diet that he likes.( Chicken soup/boiled egg, Fresh fruits/juices)in multiple small servings
- Vitamin( specially B complex )supplements help in raising appetite level.Ideally lacto bacillus containing tonic help.
- Protect him from extreme weather/ allergens/ unhealthy food till he regains his resistance.
He should be all right within 15 days.
Thanks.
