What Causes Chills, Nausea And Dry Cough In An 8 Year Old Child?
Brief Answer:
Can be due to gastritis associated nausea and reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hi
It seems that your daughter is suffering from gastritis associated nausea or gastro oesophageal reflux disease. This may be associated with pharyngitis leading to dry cough as well. I would recommend you to start her on antacids and anti reflux medicine such as Ondansetrone for relief. Also, anti tussives such as Dextromethophan will be useful for dry cough.
Avoid oily and spicy food. Ensure plenty of water intake and balanced diet. Regular exercise and weight reduction in case of obesity will be useful.
Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
