But try to extend the time your child is fasting. If the child has a high temperature, it means that there is inflammation. Try not to take medicine on your own if there is inflammation. The child is relatively young, and indiscriminate use of medicine can be very harmful to the health of the body. It is recommended to go to a nearby hospital for a detailed examination and follow the doctor's advice.

Care:

1. Feed water frequently, drink small amounts frequently, and ensure water supply to prevent excessive water loss and dehydration. The water temperature should be hotter in winter and cooler in summer. Warm water can easily cause vomiting.

2. Pay attention to your diet, don’t eat too much, and try to eat small meals frequently. Do not eat greasy, spicy or sour foods to avoid irritating the stomach and intestines. After vomiting, you should first eat liquid food or semi-liquid food (such as rice porridge or noodles), and gradually transition to a normal diet.

3. Rest in bed as much as possible and avoid changing body position frequently, otherwise it will easily cause vomiting again. Vomiting in children is often caused by digestive dysfunction, so when a child vomits, the first thing to do is to temporarily fast to give the digestive tract some time to rest. You can first give the child some light sugar salt water or light tea, and the child will be fine after a few hours or 1 to 2 days.
