Question: I have high temperature in the evening for past two days but now the temperature has subsided slowly. But high temperature comes once in the early morning or night. I also have severe bitter mouth, throat and vomiting sensation.
Answer:
Establishing the exact disease and its cause, and deciding the right line of treatment is very important. It determines the recovery.
Investigations that you need to do:
- Widal test ( for typhoid)
- SGOT, SGPT, serum bilirubin (for jaundice, which may, most commonly be due to a hepatitis virus.)
These 2 are your probable diagnosis, or it might just be a case of indisposition due to a viral infection.
Has there been any weight loss?
Yellow discoloration?
Yellow urine?

Treatments for Fever and Vomiting:
- Eat small, frequent, well-balanced meals, which are very easily digested, without taxing the stomach and intestines.
- Stay well hydrated.
- Take adequate rest.
- Use ginger to fight nausea. It is nature’s remedy for nausea and vomiting. Take it as juice or tea.
- Ipecac, a homoeopathy remedy is best suited to treat nausea, a bitter taste in the mouth, fever, fatigue and stomach upsets.
- Soak a fistful of raisins overnight. The next morning, puree them along with the water and drink.
- It is also essential that you go to a doctor for examination and get the investigations done.
