Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
You can treat symptomatically with acetaminophen or ibuprofen for fevers, and OTC medicines for congestion, depending on the age of your son and what medicines the doctor gave him. The elevations in ESR and SGPT in this case are nonspecific, and basically indicate only that an infectious or inflammatory process is occurring. If there is vomiting, you may want to keep your son on a clear liquid diet only for a day or two until the vomiting stops. There are also prescription medicines your doctor can give if the vomiting is especially severe. Talk to the doctor about specifics as s/he is familiar with your son's case and knows what medicines were given to him. Hope this helps.
