Question

My child suddenly dry heaved at 12:30 AM the other day and vomited four times from 12:30 AM to 4:30 AM. From the day before yesterday to yesterday, they had a fever three times, with temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, I gave them Meilin, and for higher fevers, I used a warm water sponge bath. At 3:30 AM today, they had a fever of 38.7 degrees Celsius, I gave them Meilin again, and did a warm water sponge bath. After drinking hot water, they perspired and the fever subsided. At 3:30 PM today, they started having a fever again. What medication do I need to give them?

Answer

Dear inquirer, based on your description, your baby has dry heaves and intermittent fevers, which may indicate gastrointestinal flu. It is recommended to administer Ma-ma-ding-lin tablets to your child, ensure they drink plenty of water, and if necessary, use antibiotics in conjunction. Avoid cold and extreme temperatures, and pay attention to rest. The above is a suggestion for the question “What’s causing my child to vomit suddenly while asleep?” I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you health!
