Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query your son is having symptoms of  fever with loose motion and vomiting which could be due to gastroenteritis which is infection due to poor immunity of body. It is due to increased susceptibility of body of getting infected. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do tepid sponging for immediate relief as you having high degree fever. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids. You should take small and frequent meals and avoid large meals intake. You should take proper antibiotic course in combination with Ibuprofen/ Acetaminophen. Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. You should get routine blood test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. You should avoid intake of outside oily and fast food. Normally viral fever take one week duration to get recovered.Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
