I am having a fever, vomiting (3 episodes), and loose motions. What medicines should I take?

Asked by Female, 29 · 6 days ago

Fever with vomiting and loose motions is most commonly due to a stomach infection or food poisoning, and the main focus of treatment is to prevent dehydration and help the body recover. Drink plenty of fluids such as oral rehydration solution (ORS), clean water, coconut water, or light soups in small, frequent sips, especially after each episode of vomiting or loose stools. Eat light and easily digestible foods like rice, bananas, curd, toast, khichdi, or boiled potatoes, and avoid oily, spicy, or outside food until you recover. Paracetamol can be used for fever and body pain in the correct dose as advised by a doctor or pharmacist. In many mild cases, antibiotics are not needed, and the illness improves on its own with rest, fluids, and a proper diet. Medicines for vomiting or diarrhoea may be required in some cases, but they should be taken only after medical advice, especially if symptoms are moderate or worsening. You should seek medical attention urgently if you develop a high fever, blood in vomit or stools, severe stomach pain, signs of dehydration (such as very dry mouth, dizziness, or reduced urination), persistent vomiting preventing fluid intake, or if symptoms last more than 2-3 days. Most people recover well with early hydration, rest, and supportive care.

I have high fever, dehydration, vomiting, and possible food poisoning. What should I do for treatment and recovery?
High fever along with dehydration, vomiting, and possible food poisoning is usually caused by contaminated food or water, stomach infection, or a viral illness affecting the digestive system. The most important part of treatment is preventing dehydration because repeated vomiting and fever can quickly reduce the body's water and salt levels. Drink fluids slowly and frequently, such as ORS (oral rehydration solution), coconut water, rice water, lemon water with a little salt and sugar, or plain water in small sips if vomiting continues. Eat light and easy-to-digest foods like bananas, toast, rice, khichdi, curd, soup, or boiled potatoes, and avoid oily, spicy, junk, or outside food until recovery. Rest well and avoid heavy physical activity. Medicines like paracetamol may help reduce fever and body pain if taken in the correct dose, but antibiotics or anti-vomiting medicines should not be taken without medical advice because treatment depends on the exact cause. It is very important to seek medical attention immediately if you have severe stomach pain, blood in vomit or stool, confusion, reduced urination, dizziness, difficulty breathing, a very high fever, inability to drink fluids, or symptoms lasting more than one or two days, because severe dehydration or infection may require hospital treatment. In many mild cases, proper hydration, rest, and careful eating help the body recover naturally within a few days.
