Question
My child has had a fever for two days now and also experiences coughing, with a feeling of nausea but is unable to vomit. What should I do when a child has a fever and vomiting?
Answer
Your baby’s condition might be caused by a viral infection after catching a cold. During this period, pay attention to your child’s body temperature. If it is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give them oral fever-reducing medication to relieve the fever. If necessary, go to the hospital for a routine blood test to confirm the illness and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. The patient should develop regular living habits, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in more aerobic exercise to enhance their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
