What to Do When a Child Has a Fever, Vomiting, and Lack of Energy?

Question

The child has been running a fever at night and is also vomiting, feeling very listless. What should I do when a child has a fever, dry vomiting, and lack of energy?

Answer

Hello, fever and dry vomiting may be caused by acute infections such as upper respiratory infections or acute mesenteric lymphadenitis; there is also a possibility of gastrointestinal diseases such as acute gastritis; these can lead to a lack of energy. It is necessary to visit a pediatrician promptly for a thorough examination and diagnosis before medication is administered. In daily life, avoid catching a cold, eat light foods, maintain a proper routine, and drink plenty of warm water.
