Suggest Treatment For Fever And Vomiting
Question: My 18 year old son has been vommiting since early Monday morning with temp ranging fom 99-104.1 (right now). He is no longer vomiting food, just the juice he's been drinking. What should I do?
Brief Answer:
viral stomach infection, home remedies advise first
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the medical history of your son and understood your concerns.
From the symptoms he is having, viral gastroenteritis is suspected. If the vomiting will persist for a few more days or a week, should send him to hospital.
For the moment, I advise to :
- give him plenty of fluids orally, especially water with ORS to replace the lost fluids through vomiting
- avoid heavy meals
- preferably give him light meals, soups, yogurt
- analgesics advised to reduce fever
Wish fast recovery!
