Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have fever and stomach pain which seems to be due to acute gastroenteritis/ viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take acetaminophen for fever in dosage of 15mg/kg. You should take proper rest. Visit general physician once and get it examined. You should get blood tests done to find out underlying cause of fever whether bacterial or viral and start treatment accordingly. You can take paracetamol along with antacids/ proton pump inhibitors. Avoid taking cold carbonated beverages and hot and spicy food. You should take plenty of fluids to rehydrate. You should do tepid sponging as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
