Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hi, My six year old boy was up around midnight last night complaining of a sore throat and headache, I noticed he had a temp so gave him some panadol and he went back to sleep, I thought he was better this morning but then at about 8am he vomited, he has since had a temp, I just did a reading under his armpit and it was 38 degrees. I have given him more panadol and put the air con on and a wet towel on his head. Should I take him to the doc or just monitor him for a while. Its now 2.45pm and he hasn t vomited again but he is very hot.
