Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi my 10th month old son is suffering from fever this morning onwards. the last noted temperature is 100.9F. He vomited a lot once. He is refusing to eat. He didn't ate from the morning. He is on my feeding. He is irritable. pls give some suggestions.
It could be that your son has got a gastrointestinal infection which is the cause of the fever and vomiting. The mainstay of treatment would be rehydration with oral rehydration solution (ORS) prepared by mixing a sachet in 200 ml or 1 litre of pain water, depending on the size of the sachet. It will help in preventing dehydration. Usually such infections are self limiting and get corrected in around 3-5 days. But a child not feeding well could warrant the requirement to visit a doctor. The use of antibiotics might be required and I would suggest that you visit a doctor and get the child assessed and treated.
