[|Human|] My son (3 and half years) had febrile seizure due to high fever on 27.11.2014 was in hospital for 2 days. Since 30.11.2014, temperature above 100 F has not occured. But now he is vomiting whatever he eats. Has little bit cough also. We took him again to doctor and he said its due to gastric problem because of antibiotics (cefdinir) and asked to stop it. He prescribed Emeset (thrice daily) and Nexpro junior sachet (twice daily) for two days. But even at the end of two days vomiting is still happening. He had rice yesterday night and did not vomit. But today he had oats and vomited. Otherwise he looks okay. Better active than before. Earlier he used to turn away face from food. Now he eats but vomits after some time. The vomit is mainly watery and occasionally undigested food goes. He has loose motion at the time of giving antibiotics but has now decreased and seems to be okay. Should I continue Emeset and Nexpro till he vomits no more ?
[|AI|]  Hi...looks like your son is on the recovery path from a viral illness. It is very common for kids to vomit during recovery period and in convalescence. 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 -
