I have a 4 year old that has had a cold/cough (no fever) for 2 weeks.  The last 2 days was doing well w/ little cough.During tonight, she spiked a fever and is now nauseated and states her tummy hurts.    She has thrown up once.Should I take her in?
HI fever with cough and cold indicates Respiratory infection. GASTRITIS RESULTS DUE TO THE SORETHROAT/ENLARGED TONSILS RESULTING IN TUMMY PAIN. Just give her some soft diet which is bland with fluids to avoid deny Chat Doctor. Give a good antiemetic like coastal syrup after consulting your child specialist for proper dose according to her weight.
