What Causes Fever With Vomiting With Diarrhea?

From yesterday my 2 year old son is having fever. Yesterday morning the fever wasn t so high but during afternoon the fever was very high (103.5 f) and throwed up for 2 times. We went to doctor and they said that he is suffering from Stomach infection. For the whole night he had very high fever(103.8). We gave him Acetamenophen suppository but this wasn t very effective. Today from morning he is not having very high fever and his stools are loose. He is refusing to eat or drink, only plain water he wants to have. what should we do now?

Welcome to Healthcaremagic Team.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of fever with vomiting with diarrhea which is due to food poisoning , bacterial and parasitic infections .Most of the time it will go away by its own in 3-5 days if we manage it properly. Major complication of diarrhea is dehydration, you should rehydrate your son with time to time .Oral rehydration solution is best for this. Give your son a proper rest. Avoid too much oily food and give him rice banana and bread toasts . High fever in case of vomiting with diarrhea is matter of concern. So you should visit general physician/ pediatrician once if symptoms do not subside . For now you can give him loperamide for frequent stools and paracetamol for fever .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
