Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.

By what you say this looks like a recurring viral illness.

Vomiting during fever is quite common in viral illness.

I will explain you how a viral illness behaves so that you can be more comfortable.

Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.
