Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And Sun Stroke In A Child

My son is 3 in october and has been in the sun all day (with sun block on) and was shivering after his bath. I thought he was just cold after being wet but now he has vomited in his bed and probably has a little sun stroke. I gave him 5ml of Calpol should I do anything else?

Hi, this is probably sun stroke. You need to give child adequate rest. Also the child should be given more liquid diet so that dehydration doesn't occur. You can give paracetamol syrup for fever. Take care.
