Pediatrician,  Dr. E Venkata Ramana's  Response
Hi Ashok Patel,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

Because of vomitings, high grade fever, and not taking orally, child may develop dehydration because of loss of water and electrolytes from the body and poor oral intake.

I advise you to consult the doctor again for the assessment of his general condition and hydration status and depending on his assessment child may be hospitalized for intravenous fluids and antibiotic.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
