This problem must be solved in a timely manner, but the cause must also be found out so that the problem of the child can be completely solved. In this regard, there are some causes that can serve as a reference for parents. So, what happens if a child has a fever and vomits? Let’s take a look below.

Causes of vomiting and fever in children

There are many causes of fever in children. Upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and all infectious diseases may cause fever symptoms. In addition, babies under one year old may also develop fever due to urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and hand, foot and mouth disease. In many cases, a doctor must be consulted to find out the real cause of the fever.

Bacteria or viruses, the two types of infections require completely different medications

Generally speaking, bacteria and viruses are the most common sources of infection for babies. The treatment methods for fever caused by these two situations are completely different. If it is a bacterial infection, the treatment effect will be very good as long as the right antibiotics are chosen. If it is a viral infection, there is currently no specific medicine. You can take Virus Ling, Isatis Root Granules, Honeysuckle, etc.

What to do if your child vomits and has a fever

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, stiff neck, etc., you may have other complications and must seek medical attention immediately.

The above is some information about antipyretic drugs for children who vomit and have fever. Only by being familiar with its dosage and interval can you use it with ease.
