Suggest Treatment For Fever & Nausea

my 13yr old daughter has had a fever of 104 for 3 days now. We have been giving here Motrin every 6 hours and Tyenol every 4 hours. Her temp goes down to 100.5 but does not stay down for very long. She started vomiting this morning, she now has a stuffy nose and cough on top of the fever and vomiting. Is it time to take her to the Dr. Most times I take her in they tell me to wait longer to see if it goes away so I waited this time but getting worried now on Day 3 of fever

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is having fever, nausea along with cough and stuffy noise is because your child is suffering from viral infection. It could be due to bacterial infection / upper respiratory tract infection as well. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get complete examination done. You should go for blood and sputum tests. You should give antipyretics to your daughter for fever relief such as calpol,paracetamol or adol suppositories acetaminophen. Gargle with saline water . Give steam inhalation to child. Use mist humidifiers in room. If fever increases do tepid sponging as well with cold water. give throat lozenges as well. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist as well if symptoms keep son persisting.Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with decongestants. Give child multivitamin tablets.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
