What Causes Fever Along With Vomiting Up Of Blood In A Child?

Hello My 12 year old daughter has just been sick and the vomit was pink. She has had a temperature and sore throat and tummy for 24 hrs which we ve been testing with paracetamol and ibuprofen. Her temperature is under control but her throat and tummy are still very sore. I will probably take her to docs in the morning but I wondered wether I should take her to out of hours emergency care now with the pink vomit. Apart from not being able to sleep she seems OK in herself. Quite coherent.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter has symptoms of fever along with vomiting up of blood which seems to be due to presence of severe infection in body. It could be due to systemic disturbances as well. Fever is happening just because of that. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should take roper course of antibiotics to fight against infection. Drink plenty of fluids. If not taking any antibiotic start Norfloxacin for 5 to 7 days. Get culture test of urine done again after few days and start treatment accordingly. Avoid intake of outside food. Drink plenty of water as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
