Does High Fever, Loss Of Appetite And Vomiting Indicate An Underlying Issue?

Have 2 daughters, the one for a week had a high fever, not eatting, sick to stomach and vomitting. Thought was the flu. Seemed to get have gotten better, then it came on again and sister has it also. Throwing up and spiking fevers of 104 and up. Doctors say it is the flu. Wondering if something else, any suggestions?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter is suffering from high fever, loss of appetite and vomiting which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis leading to electrolyte imbalance in body. It could be due to poor immunity of body. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of outside food. I would suggest you to visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Take diet rich in fresh juices and fruits. Drink plenty of water and fluids. You should take anti-allergic medication along with proper course of antibiotic along with Ibuprofen. Do tepid sponging as well to lower down fever.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
