Suggest Treatment For Fever And Vomiting In A Child
My 4 year old son has had fever for last 5 days. Fever reaches 102 at about 8 hourly interval and then subsides after giving 7.5 ml of paracetemol syrup. Yesterday on 5th day, he started vomiting and we were shocked to see traces of blood - brown colour- in his vomit. local doctor has advised only paracetemol. Blood & Urine tests are all normal. please advise.

he might be having viral fevers,, which will get cured by 7 days with antibiotics, if blood vomiting is present, check his platelets count.. if the platelets count <1lak, consultant your doctor to rule out viral hemorrhagic fevers. give soft and liquid diet
