Question
The child started dry heaves in the afternoon at school and vomited again at night. The child is now sleeping and has a low fever of 39 degrees. How should this be handled? What was the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of assistance is needed?
Answer
The patient has experienced two episodes of dry heaves accompanied by high fever. Due to the unclear medical history, the exact cause cannot be diagnosed. It is recommended to use alcohol to wipe the body, especially the armpits and inguinal areas, or to use cool towels for cold compresses on the head and body, and to encourage the patient to drink plenty of water. It is advised to immediately seek medical attention for fluid replacement and temperature reduction treatment to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
