Suggest Treatment For Viral Fever With Cough And Cold

Our whole household have been fighting coughs and congestion for a few weeks. I figured it was a cold that has been going around. Last night my daughter got up sick and began to throw up and did thru the evening and continues this morning. She has a very low grade fever and says she does not feel chilly. She can t keep anything down and gets a stomach cramp just before vomiting again. She continues to only throw up water and alittle bit of bile, but this last time there was blood coming out. Am I looking at a flu and is the blood a tear or something in her throat from the violent vomiting that she has had? Is there anything that I can give her to help this to pass? She is 10 years old.

your 10 year ols child has a viral infection which starts of as a cold but has progressed on to cause the lining of the stomach to become red and inflammed called gastritis and also the intestinal lining causing her to vomit .I suggest that it is indeed a severe viral infection,she has to take absolute rest ,keep her home ,no school,and since she is retching so badly and vomiting not retaining any fluid she needs to visit an emergency room have an IV with parentral glucose and saline ,be under observation for about 8 hours .Have blood tests done,decongestants ,and some antacids to reduce the gastritis ,if symptoms persist may need admission.Best of luck
