What Causes Vomiting And High Fever?

My daughter who is 2 yr old drank kerosene, I haven't seen her drinking it but I could smell kerosene from her mouth. I immediately rushed her to the hospital, she was kept under observation and after 6 hours they took her x ray. She was fine and did not showed any symptoms. The x ray was clear and she was discharged after 17 hrs. After coming home she ate her food. But after 2 days she not eating her food and not even drinking her milk. Again we took her to the doctor, she was advised before to take gelusil antacids, so the doctor asked me to continue that. Now after coming home I gave her some oats but she vomited it. She is having running also. Please advise me what to do next

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Effects of kerosene can be seen after 6 hours of ingestion. Her X ray was normal.she was seen twice by pediatrician. So I guess she must be fine.Present complaints could be due to new viral infection. You can give her symptomatic treatment like antiemetic for vomiting, gelusil for gastritis, lots of liquids oraly.In case u feel that she is breathing fast then immediately show to your doctor
Regards
