Suggest Treatment For Vomiting And High Fever

A friend of mine online has been vomiting with a very high fever. She told me it was 108 Degrees F. I don't know what to do right now, I want to do all I can to help figure out this dilemma and help her out! I am no health professional so that is why I am looking for a quick consultation with an online specialist willing to hear me out!

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

She is having very high temperature which should be bring down as early as possible otherwise she may through some seizures. The cause for the fever associated with vomiting should be ruled out.

She needs lab investigations like CBC, routine urine examination, widal test and CRP. This will help us to find out the reasons for her symptoms.

For her symptoms immediately she need to follow
1.Antipyretics like Paracetamol should be taken once in 6 hours.
2.Cold tepid sponging
3.Oral antibiotics

She may require hospitalization, I would suggest you to take her to ER for complete evaluation and adequate treatment.
Thank you.
