Pediatrician 's  Response
this young child has vomiting and fever , if he does have diarrhoea then problem is solved and then he has a gastroenteritis which is the infection of his intestines usually caused by virus . and doesn't need all these medications .
lanzol is a proton pump inhibitor which decrease the acidity in stomach , an a 1.4 year old child doesn't have acidic reflux for sure , so discontinue it

Soventus is a cough syrup , you didn't mention any upper respiratory tract symptoms , if he cough after vomiting it's a normal physiology and doesn't warrant any cough syrup
Nemocid is an antihelmentic drug , it shouldn't be used empirically in cases of gastroenteritis unless there is an endemic area .
Again , if you child doesn't have diarrhoea, and he is having vomiting and fever for 3 days , then we should worry about other diagnosis and he should be visit his pediatrician, beware of dehydration because increase thirst is the first sign of that
I hope this helps
