Suggest Treatment For Severe Vomiting , Headache And Fever In A Child

my 8 year old daughter came home from school yesterday with a fever of 102 f. She is c/o headache i left temple, and has been throwing up. Appears hydrated, and we are pushing fluids. Early this am she had to throw up but because her belly was empty she had green bile. Her left eye is red perioribital to her nose. I thought she was rubbing her eye too hard, but there is a little swelling below the eyebrow. wondering if she needs to be seen or handle it at home.. fevers have been 99.5 to 101

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of severe vomiting , headache and fever. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, improper digestion, poor metabolism, electrolyte imbalance and due to acute gastritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day. You should keep your head elevated while sleeping. Avoid eating spicy and heavy food , reduce intake of dairy products. You should take plenty of fluids. Consult pediatrician for proper examination. Doctor may order test like swab test, blood test and will do physical examination. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis along with antiemetic medications.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
