My child has a fever of 102?F, headache, and is vomiting. Can I give paracetamol 250 mg?

Yes, you can give paracetamol 250 mg to help reduce your child?s fever and relieve discomfort. The usual dose is 10?15 mg per kg of body weight every 4?6 hours, not exceeding four doses in 24 hours. Make sure to follow the dosing instructions and keep your child well-hydrated. Consult a paediatrician if vomiting continues, the fever lasts more than 3 days, or any other concerning symptoms appear.

I am not digesting well and have vomited once. What medication would be suitable for me?

You may take an antiemetic medication such as Emeset 8 Tablet (Ondansetron) to help with vomiting, but it is important to identify the underlying cause of your digestive issues. Stay hydrated, eat light meals, and avoid irritant foods. If vomiting persists, worsens, or is accompanied by unusual symptoms, consult your doctor immediately.

He had chickenpox 15 days ago and has been experiencing abdominal pain and vomiting for the past 4 days, along with a mild fever for 1 day. He is taking Oflox OZ Tablet and Lansoprazole but still has abdominal pain and nausea after meals, with 1 or 2 episodes of vomiting each day. Please provide your expert opinion.

Abdominal pain and vomiting after a recent viral illness, such as chickenpox, need urgent medical assessment to rule out complications.

He should stop any non-prescribed medicines and see a doctor immediately for a complete examination and decide on the appropriate treatment.

My 3-year-old child vomited 3-4 times after a birthday party. We are giving him water. Should we give any emergency medicine for food poisoning, or should we wait?

Continue giving your child small, frequent sips of water or an oral rehydration solution to prevent dehydration. Avoid giving any over-the-counter medicine for food poisoning without a doctor?s advice. Seek medical attention promptly if vomiting persists, or if your child shows signs of dehydration, has blood in the vomit, or experiences severe abdominal pain.

I'm experiencing loose motions and vomiting. We've been using Emecet for vomiting and zinc powder for loose motions for the past 5 days.

If you have had loose motions and vomiting for 5 days despite taking Emecet and zinc, it is important to see a doctor. Prolonged diarrhoea and vomiting can cause dehydration and may need stronger treatment or tests to find the cause. Meanwhile, drink plenty of fluids or ORS to stay hydrated.
