Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of severe vomiting and fever. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, electrolyte imbalance and due to acute gastritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles several times a day , keep your head elevated while sleeping . 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. Avoid eating spicy and heavy food , reduce intake of dairy products.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
