Question
Last night, the baby vomited and then started running a fever. Could it be due to indigestion? What medication should I give?
Answer
It’s recommended to have your child’s blood routine tested, which can generally indicate whether the infection is bacterial or viral, and then administer medication accordingly. If there is a low fever, drinking more water can help lower the body temperature, and generally, it’s not advisable to use fever-reducing medication; if the temperature is slightly higher than 38.5 degrees Celsius, you should take fever-reducing medication while drinking plenty of water. If there is an infection, you should also take anti-infection medication and antiviral medication. Drink plenty of water and wish for a speedy recovery!
