How Can Fever, Pharyngitis With Nausea And Vomiting Be Treated?

My grandson age 6 has flu and pherengitus. He was running fever of 105. I gave a 2 teaspoon dose of Ibuprofin which he immediately threw up. After the nasua was done I gave him a 2nd 2teaspoon dose. His temp is now running 95.7. He is sleeping normally and breathing normally but I am still concerned.

dear user

these symptoms you mentioned refer to having bacterial infection or viral infection of your grandson
you need not to worry as the most common cause is viral infection and so we dont need to give him antibiotics
only symptomatic treatment of antipyretics and give hime multiple fluids will help
then improvement will occur gradually as the viral infection take about four days and symptoms will improve
if symptoms persist or get worse we suggest that there is bacterial infection and antibiotic indicate now
the doctor that examined the baby can give hime antibiotic such as amoxicillin by clinical examination
we prefer to do blood test and nasopharyngeal swab for confirming diagnosis
antibiotic is prescribed according to these tests
just now you need not to worry if you feel gradual improvement of him
and give him more fluids

hope that helps you
