Patient's question:
Doctor, my niece is only a little over five years old. She has been having a fever these past few days, and has been nausea and vomiting every day. I gave her fever-reducing medicine, but not anti-diarrheal medicine. However, her face is pale, and I'm very worried. I want to ask, what should I do when a child has nausea and vomiting after a fever?Doctor's answer:
After the child has a fever, the recurrence of nausea and vomiting may be caused by the effects of many medications or discomforting symptoms. Complete recovery from the illness requires some time, so there is no need to worry too much. It is important to ensure that the child's abdomen does not get cold and to pay attention to preventing colds. Give the child plenty of hot water to drink. In terms of diet, a light and simple diet should be the foundation, and do not force the child to eat too much. It is absolutely necessary to avoid spicy and irritating foods.
