What Could Cause Recurring Fever And Vomiting In A Child?

2 year old boy vomited yesterday for a while with fever of 101.7...after a few hours up and about and feeling like normal a dose of tylenol last night. Seemed okay all of today, but recently started vomiting again with a fever or 96.6 under the arm. Is this normal?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

It seems that your child has viral gastritis. I understand your concerns. Armpit temperature less than 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit is perfectly within normal range. You can take the following measures to help him:
1. In case of fever episodes, give him Syp Acetaminophen along with sponging.
2. Start an antacid such as Sup. Digene or lansoprazole dispersable tablets( Lanzol junior) for gastritis.
3. Syp. Domperidone or ondansetrone will be of help to relieve vomiting episodes.
4. Keep him well hydrated during these times by oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, Buttermilk or soups. If diarrhoea sets in, start ORS.

Hopefully it will help. If the child doesn't respond, then consult a pediatrician for proper examination and laboratory work up.
