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.
My 9 yr old daughter woke up yesterday and started vomiting. Had diarrhea soon thereafter, but no fever. It went on all day and all night. She vomited at least 17 times. Before bed her temp was 99.6. Woke up at 3:30am with 101.5 fever. Put her in cool bath and gave Motrin. She threw that right back up. Fell back asleep and woke at 7am with 102.6 fever, so I put her back in tub and gave Motrin again. She felt better and temp dropped to 99.6. She had some ginger ale, some Gatorade, and a few saltine crackers. She fell back asleep around 11:00am and slept till almost 4pm. She woke up crying with a temp of 103.2, so I brought her to a walk-in clinic where they tested her for the Flu, and it came back negative.... ?
Hi, From history it seems that she might be having acute gastro-enteritis. As she is having profuse vomiting and fever, there is likely of having dehydration and as vomiting is continuous, she might require hospital admission for IV infusions and IV antibiotics. Go to ER and get examined. Meanwhile give her plenty of water, electrolytes and ORS liquids if she can retain them. Ok and take care.
