Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

He has a fever, anorexia, vomiting, red eyes and some irritability. These symptoms usually suggest a viral fever, and need only supportive treatment. He will be fine in 3-5 days. Just continue the medicines as advised. Give paracetamol 3-4 times a day. Give syrup ondansetron (2mg/5ml) 2.5ml 2-3 times a day for vomiting. Give feeds more frequently in small amounts- this will increase holding down.

Take him back to doctor if symptoms are not coming down after 72 hours, he becomes very lethargic, or not at all taking feeds. Until then, you need not worry

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
