How can fever with vomiting and diarrhea be treated?
Patient: Sir, my son 6yrs having fever from 27th and we started paracetemol p 250 and Taxim O from 29th, now my son fever is 98-99 sometimes. He is now having vomiting tendency and gone to toilet 6 times today. His urine and previous stool was quiet Ok. Sir please advice what to do, will I stop giving Taxim-O and wait for the best. Plz advice Doctor: Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.UNNECESSARY USAGE OF ANTIBIOTICS LIKE TAXIM-O MAY CAUSE ANTIBIOTIC ASSOCIATED DIARRHOEA.Fever of few days without any localizing signs could as well a viral illness. Usually rather than fever, what is more important is the activity of the child, in between 2 fever episodes on the same day. If the kid is active and playing around when there is no fever, it is probably viral illness and it doesn't require antibiotics at all. Once viral fever comes it will there for 4-7 days. So do not worry about duration if the kid is active.Regards - Dr. Sumanth Amperayani
