Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stomach pain and nausea which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you not to increase dose of Zofran without proper prescription. You should take proper rest. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors. Take antiemetic medication as well. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
