Suggest Treatment For Fever, Red Eyes And Vomiting Despite Medication
My daughter is 7 years old and she was diagnosed with an ear infection 2 days ago and given augmentin. Her fever has been very high, with vomiting and she hasn t eaten much in the past two days. Her fever has been between 102.5 and 104.4. She has had blood shot eyes, and it is red around the outside of both eyes since yesterday and she is complaining that they hurt. Is this normal?

Dear parent, I understand your concerns. you should give ibuprofen or acetaminophen every 6 hours to relieve the fever. give an antiemetic for the vomiting ( other than primperane as it is contraindicated in Children ) . try to offer only soft and easy swallowed foods as soup, youghurt and jelly. continue on the augmentin as prescribed by your doctor
