Pediatrician,  's  Response
Probably your son has got a gastro intestinal infection which is demonstrated by the presence of fever and foul smelling burp along with vomiting. Most of such infections are self correcting and recovery occurs in 3-5 days irrespective of the use of antibiotics. The mainstay of treatment would be to give oral rehydration solution (ORS) to replenish the amount of salts and water lost. Plenty of curd or yogurt needs to be given to increase the amount of good bacteria in the bowels.

It would still worthwhile to visit a doctor and to get the child examined to rule out other possibilities and to treat accordingly.
