A. after 2 episodes of vomiting wait for one hour then give vomiting medicine (syp ondem/emeset) 5ml and then again wait for one hour and then give only easily digestible food. do not give anything to eat in thics 2hr waiting period. if vomiting occurs again then meet your doctor. avoid giving milk and heavy diet. vomit usually occurs due to gastritis when you take the temperature in the armpit of the child with the help of a digital thermometer and if it is 99 f (37 c) or more then you consider it as fever or when you take the temperature in the oral cavity of the child and if it is 100 degree fahrenheit then you consider it as fever and then paracetamol is given. along with paracetamodl continue body sponge and keep the child in light clothes. paracetamol can be repeated maximum four times per day

A. It is the nature of the fever to repeat in every 4 to 6 hours and that is why they suggested to continuously give medicines every six hours to the child at the temperature is rising and if the fever doesn’t subside maximum by the time of 72 hours and you need to go for further assessment try to maintain hydration by giving good amount of water you can add some ORS into that and more of liquids would be beneficial as of now
