Suggest Remedy For Vomiting And Sore Throat While Suffering From Crohn S Disease

I have a almost 14 year old daughter with Crohn s who came home from school, today, after vomiting twice. She has since been dry heaving, no fever. She has had head congestion, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, body aches and exhausted for the past 2 days. Her abdominal area, which is achey in the front above her belly button, only cramps when she dry heaves. She does have many allergies but non to foods. This is typically not her body s way of showing a Crohn s flare up. I m trying to decipher if these are the beginning stages of flu-like symptoms vs a Crohn s flare up. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted that your young daughter of 14 is suffering from Crohn's.
She has vomiting twice. She has since been dry heaving, no fever. She has had head congestion, runny/stuffy nose, sore throat, body aches and exhausted for the past 2 days.
This is indicative of a stomach flu or intestinal infection and whether this is flare up or infection she needs a proper medical attention and evaluation and proper treatment as Crohn's must have weakened her immunity and additional problems further doing the same.
Take her to ER for clinical examination, investigations and treatment accordingly.
