What Causes Running Nose Along With High Fever And Vomiting In A Child?

My granddaughter had. Clear runny nose and fever of 103 two days ago- still ate and drank ok. Yest she had just low grade temp and acted better. She woke up today with fine red rash under skin over entire body and has now vomited 4 times- twice this am and twice this late afternoon. We are on vacation in Florida. No temp today . Do we need to go to er or just watch overnight? Two of the adults in our group have very sore throats so I'm concerned it could be strep?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your grand daughter have symptoms of running nose along with high fever and vomiting which seems to be due to viral infection or flu. Need not to worry. You should do tepid sponging to lower down fever. I would suggest you to give paracetamol to child every 6 hrly to lower down fever. You should take proper course of antibiotic Ciprofloxacin along with antiallergic medication Sinarest. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined and start treatment after proper examination. You should go for complete blood test examination. You should drink plenty of fluids. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
