Vomitting, fever and headache
My son has vomitted 3 times in last 6 hours with mild fever of range 100. He is complaining of headache in the top portion of head. Please advice. I gave him crocin DS 240 3.5 ml at 10 pm but fever is not reduced at 12.30 am it's the same. Weight 15 kg
after 2 episodes of vomiting wait for one hour then give vomiting medicine (syp ondem/emeset) 5ml and then again wait for one hour and then give only easily digestible food.
do not give anything to eat in this 2hr waiting period.
if vomiting occurs again then meet your doctor.
avoid giving milk and heavy diet.
vomit usually occurs due to gastritis
Next Steps
