According to experts, vomiting in young children, as a rule, occurs due to the following diseases: intestinal infection, poisoning. On the other hand, fever takes place with ARVI or influenza, as well as a reaction after taking certain medications. It also happens that vomiting and temperature in children occur simultaneously. Why is this happening? How to treat a baby? This is what we’ll talk about now.
Rotavirus infection
Rotavirus infection, which is also called "intestinal flu," usually manifests itself as follows: vomiting and temperature in children appear, general weakness, abdominal pain, and almost complete lack of appetite are observed. In this kind of situation, most often the doctor prescribes therapy, which is directly aimed at reducing the fever and associated symptoms. Particular attention is paid to the nutrition of crumbs. First of all, absolutely all dairy products (kefir, milk, etc.) are excluded. You can eat only chicken stock, crackers, rice porridge on the water and jelly. It should be noted that in the absence of appetite in the baby, he should in no case be force-fed. The most important thing in this situation is to immediately call your doctor.
Other cases
It is noteworthy that often vomiting and temperature in children may not be related to rotavirus infection at all. For example, if a crumb has had a fever for a long time, the doctor will most likely prescribe antibiotics, and they, in turn, often cause vomiting. That is why you should first understand the symptoms and immediately stop taking the medicine. The attending physician should prescribe a different drug.
