How To Treat Vomits And Fever In Small Kids?
All day yesterday my 2 year old daughter was acting like she was trying to vomit. Last night she was playing and her neck got jammed (landed on her face on a bed and her neck pushed down into her shoulders a little and went backwards a little) Later she started vomitting and has a high fever. She is sleeping alot, not wanting to eat or drink much. Infant tylenol brings down her fever. Does she have meningitis? Do we need to take her to the ER?

welcome to Hcm,
short answer: your child needs a pediatrician visit
detailed answer: vomitting in small kids can be prevented by giving small amount of food and not dumping all at one time .
frequency of diet can be increased.
after food i advice all mothers to keep their child in upright position for atleast 15- 20 min.
if they go to bed immediately the food can regurgitate.
another thing is preventing your child from fever. though it is impossible. as soon as your child gets fever i advice to have a tripid sponging. which is a easy method.
you have to soak cloth in cold water and wipe the whole body with wet cloth.
do this emergency measures and consult your treating pediatritian.
anyway your child may need minimal investigations and clinical examination before starting the treatment
so advice you have a pediatrician visit to your child.
hope this finds useful
