Brief Answer:
Further tests may be required.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
Pertaining to your child issue, it is important that exact focus of infection is determined.
This may require an ultrasound abdomen for further assessment.
A complete blood count/CBC with a differential is needed to assess the severity of any infection.
Vomiting can be a side effect of antibiotics like Oflomac M.
In case if the fever does not resolve, blood culture and sensitivity may be required.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
