What Causes High Fever And Dry Heaving?

My 29yr. old son became very sick 5 days ago. Very high fevers, dry heaving inability to keep fluid down. Vere severe uncontrollable attacks of shaking. Extremely lethargic unable to sit up. Pain in left side of chest.I took him to dr. where he went into very severe shaking episode, fever was down some with Tylenol, His blood pressure & heart rate dropped suddenly. Dr. gave him juice & did ekg but machine was malfunctioning. Today is 6 days in & his fever is under control with Advil & Tylenol. He s feeling much better but he is still having sudden severe & uncontrollable shaking episodes. He is very active in excellent shape & eats a very healthy diet.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have high fever and dry heaving. There are some factors which are not in our hands like our environment , heat , cold , pressure and sun exposure . It is the bodies response to the trigger factor . Insect bite , pollen and some plants can also cause hives .
The most important thing is to find the trigger factor . I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream , anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system . Apply ice pack on hives to decrease redness and inflammation.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
