What to Do When a Child Vomits and Has a Fever in Their Hands and Feet?

Question

What should I do when my child vomits and has a fever in their hands and feet? It’s been happening since last Tuesday. They vomited after taking their afternoon nap. Then their palms and soles became hot. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention to it. They’ve been taking probiotics every day. Since Thursday, they’ve been drinking the Jian’er Xiaoshi Oral Liquid. They’ve had two bowel movements. In the morning, when they went to bed, their palms were slightly warm, and they didn’t want to have their temperature taken, feeling a bit flushed. It’s intermittent. They just want to drink milk. Do I need to give them any other medicine? Chicken gizzard powder? Huajiji Oral Liquid? Do I need to give them some Xiao Chaihu Granules? Thank you.

Answer

Based on your description, it’s possible that the child may have gastroenteritis, which mainly presents with gastrointestinal symptoms, accompanied by fever! I suggest you measure the child’s temperature after they fall asleep. If they have a fever, you can give them Children’s Paracetamol and Cough Relief Tablets along with Xiao Chaihu Granules! These are my suggestions for the question ‘What should I do when my child vomits and has a fever in their hands and feet since last Tuesday after taking their afternoon nap?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you all the best in your health!
