Question
What should I do if my child has a fever and doesn’t want to eat or drink anything?
Answer
If a child has a fever with dry vomiting, it’s not ruled out that encephalitis might be a possibility. It’s advisable to go to the hospital for an early check-up, which may include blood tests, and possibly an EEG or brain CT scan if necessary. For now, don’t give them anything to eat; even if they do, it will likely come back up. Pay attention to rest and administer some fever-reducing medication. Wishing for your child’s health.
