Suggest Treatment For Fever And Vomiting In A Child
Question: my husband almost 2 weeks ago ran a fever of 101 to 102 F for about 3 days. no other symptoms at the time. then this past Friday he complained about having a bad headache. he took 2 excedrin migraine caplets and went to sleep before his night shift at the hospital. he came home early with a fever of 102. the fever finally dropped to below 100 Sunday. and has not returned however he now is vomiting. he works as a RN on a surgical floor.
Brief Answer:
Require blood investigation and examination
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The primary complaints are suggestive of some infection or viral fever.
If headache is relieved and no loss of consciousness, seizures, visual complains, ear discharge, neck stiffness then vomiting may be due to gastritis.
He should get evaluated for fever by a physician and examined for any brain symptoms.
He needs some investigations like automated count and blood sugar. Other relevant investigation depends upon local prevalence of Malaria, dengue.
For treatment he should take omeprazole with domperidone, antacid Syrup and antibiotics.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
