What to do if your child vomits and has a fever

Every child is a treasure to his or her parents. When the child is sick, the parents will feel extremely anxious and feel even more uncomfortable than if they were sick themselves. However, since children are relatively young, their resistance is poor and they are often susceptible to various diseases. Vomiting and fever are one of them. What should we do if a child has vomiting and fever? I have summarized a few points, hoping it can help everyone. Let’s take a look together.

1. Replenish water. If you feel chilly and shivering, add a small amount of clothes. If not, reduce the amount of clothes and quilts to allow the heat to evaporate naturally.

2. Take a warm bath, pat the whole body with water slightly higher than body temperature, or soak it or use an ice pillow, but do not wipe it with alcohol, because it is more stimulating and causes tremors, blood vessels to constrict, and the body temperature to rise.

3. Antipyretic drugs such as Ventolin, Panadol, and rectal suppositories can be given according to the doctor's advice, but do not shorten the administration time or increase the dosage without authorization just because the fever has not subsided.

4. If you have cramps, unconsciousness, severe vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, abdominal tenderness and hardness, headache, neck stiffness, etc., you may have other complications and you must seek medical attention immediately.

It should be noted in particular that many parents often mix different types of antipyretic drugs for their children. Some impatient parents, when the fever does not go down after half an hour of oral medication, add suppositories. However, the durability of various drugs is different, and mixing them may cause overlapping drug effects. As a result, the fever subsided too quickly and the body temperature dropped rapidly to below 36 degrees Celsius. New problems arise. Parents can choose an antipyretic drug and become familiar with its dosage and interval so that they can use it with ease.

The above content is an introduction to what to do if a young child vomits and has a fever. I believe parents have already understood that if the child has a bacterial infection, just choose the right anti-vitamin. If it is a viral infection, giving the child honeysuckle, isatis root granules, etc. will have a good effect. As long as the right medicine is used, I believe your baby will recover as soon as possible.
