Question
If a child has a fever and vomiting, they are fine during the day but complain of pain at night, accompanied by fever and vomiting, crying and fussing constantly. What could be the situation? They have been given fever-reducing injections.
Answer
The most common cause of fever and vomiting is an infection, which requires a urine test to determine whether it is caused by bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma infections, and then medication can be administered accordingly. If there is also a lack of energy due to vomiting, one should also pay attention to possible diseases such as myocarditis or appendicitis. In cases of severe vomiting, hospitalization for antiemetic medication is necessary, and attention should be given to signs of dehydration. If dehydration occurs, immediate medical attention and intravenous fluid therapy should be sought. The diet should consist of light, soft, and easily digestible foods.
