Brief Answer:
Ultrasound scan is normal

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms Tanusree

The ultrasound report is totally normal and there is no cause for concern. Partially distended Gall bladder is usually seen in semi Fasting or Fasting state associated with decreased intake of food during febrile illness in children. There is absolutely no cause for concern.

I hope the kid is doing well and has no fever.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy life.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Anti emetic will be helpful

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms

I would suggest you the following

1. Continue giving antipyretic like Paracetamol for control of Fever

2. Anti emetic like Ondensetaron syrup will be helpful for relieving vomiting

If you notice any of the following then do consult Pediatrician for further assessment

1. Fever persistently above 101 °F

2. Persistent vomiting inspite of giving antiemetic

3. Decreased appetite and presence of persistent pain in abdomen

Following investigation will be required in consultation with Pediatrician

1. Complete blood count

2. Peripheral blood smear

3. WIDAL

4. Urine routine and microscopic examination

Do keep me updated about progress

Take care

Best regards
Dr Deepak
