Question
My niece was playing at my house and suddenly started vomiting, with a high fever as well. We were all scared. What could be the reason for fever accompanied by vomiting?
Answer
It could be due to catching a cold, or there might be other issues. The patient can take various antiviral medications. If the body temperature is below 38 degrees, they should take fever-reducing medicine. In case of severe dry heaves, symptomatic medications can be taken, and attention should be paid to eating small and frequent meals, avoiding spicy and irritant foods, preventing re-cold, and getting plenty of rest. Maintain a regular daily routine, take good cold prevention measures, eat more light and soft foods, keep the air ventilated, drink plenty of hot water, and ensure that the illness does not recur.
