My 15 month old has intermittent fever and cold and cough since 2 days .Has also started loosing and vomiting when ever he has food .Very cranky and not in mood to hv food too?What can be done pls suggest emergency medicines

A. This may due to either allergy or infection and some times due to climate changes and temperature variations . For cold you can give drops wikoryl AF 0.5 ml to the child 2-3 times per day. try to prevent temperature variations around the child and give nasal saline drops frequently for nasal blockage, simple cough and cold. Indirect steam is helpful. Home remedies like Tulsi Ginger diluted with water combination (honey can be added after 1 year age)and turmeric with milk at least 2 times per day. Give warm water to drink If no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor paracetamol for fever and pain. 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 this 2hr waitingx period. if vomiting occurs again then meet your doctor. avoid giving milk and heavy diet. vomit usually occursx due to gastritis
