A friend of mine online has been vomiting with a very high fever. She told me it was 108 Degrees F. I dont know what to do right now, I want to do all I can to help figure out this dilemma and help her out! I am no health professional so that is why I am looking for a quick consultation with an online specialist willing to hear me out!
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, She is having very high temperature which should be brought down as early as possible otherwise she may through some seizures. The cause for the fever associated with vomiting should be ruled out. She needs lab investigations like CBC, routine urine examination, tidal test and CRP. This will help us find out the reasons for her symptoms. For her symptoms immediately she needs to follow1. Antipyretics like Paracetamol should be taken once in 6 hours.2. Cold tepid sponging3. Oral antibiotics may require hospitalization, I would suggest you to take her to ER for complete evaluation and adequate treatment. Thank you.
