Suggest Treatment For Fever And Vomotting

My son began vomiting over last night and has now presented with a fever, spotty tongue and achy side. What could it be? His father has him currently, as I am out of town. I would like to get him some course of treatment until he can see a doctor. Thank you.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for posting your question.
The symptom list that you have suggested could be the initial presentation of a variety of diseases. Hence, at present, the illness just being 1 day old, can only be treated symptomatically.
Thus an antiemetic like domperidone for vomiting and paracetamol for fever should suffice at this stage along with plenty of fluids to maintain hydration. Apart from this, keep a watch for new symptoms, decreased urine output or alternation in sensorium and report immediately if present.
If you need any more advise regarding the case, do write back.
