Suggest Treatment Foe Fever And Vomiting In A Child
Hi my three yr old daughter has been unwell for a couple of days, she had a temp the other night, the following morning she vomited but it was all clear but the smell was very acidy, she was fine the rest of the day the same thing again happened the next morning but vomited three times no food in it clear again & also has had the runs in between . No tummy ache at all she will be playing then runs to the toilet then last night when she was asleep her body felt very cold.
With a history of vomiting and diarrhea, it is likely that she has gastroenteritis which is acute inflammation/infection of the gastrointestinal tract.
This is normally caused by a viral or bacterial infection though viral infection is more common. The main aspect of treatment would be ensuring that she uses enough fluids to replace what she is losing.
Because of the nausea and vomiting, it may be best to use small amounts initially then increase if she tolerates the small quantities.
I hope this helps
