Hi,
What type of fever reducing medication does your pediatrician recommend that you give your child? Always follow your doctor's advice, especially with correct dosage.
What are the symptoms that your daughter is experiencing with the stomach virus? If she is vomiting or having diarrhea, preventing dehydration is important. Sips of water or ice chips are a good starter. As she can tolerate and keep the fluids down (if vomiting) gradually add clear liquids such as apple juice, broth, fruit ices and jello.Avoid dairy products such as milk and ice cream for several days, since there can be a temporary intolerance to the lactose in milk following a bout of a stomach virus. If the symptoms persist and the fever gets above 102 degrees, contact your doctor.
