vomiting and a fever- how do you medicate?

Ugh.  DS spiked a fever tonight and it went up to 102+ so I thought Ibuprofin was in order.  No less than 3 minutes later he puked alllll over the place.  We got him in a luke warm bath, and his fever is down to 101 now, but how do I know how much he really got, and how do I give him anymore if he's vomiting?  Ugh.  Ick!

TIA!

    I think you have to wait the time even though he threw up but I would do tylenol next and pedalyte. Poor guy I hope he feels better. I know strep is going around really bad so I hope it's not the onset of that. ;-(

    Ugh.  I had to deal with that two nights ago, Jakob had a fever and was throwing up.

    I waited.  He threw up at 2 am and I sent him back to bed.  At 4 am he was still miserable but was able to keep down Tylenol.  

    Ibprofen is always rougher on his stomach.  Even when he was a toddler, he would throw up the motrin but could keep down tylenol.  Maybe try that?  I'd wait awhile after his last vomiting, though.

    Oh, poor baby! I would probably wait for awhile before giving more meds. Make sure he can keep down water or pedialyte first.

    I hope he's better soon!

    Rectal tylenol. Or score 2mg of Zofran from someone!

    Ditto.  Hope it is just a quick overnight thing.

    I crushed up 3mg of Zofran and he took some of it, but where do I find rectal tylenol??

    Well if he'll keep down liquids now with the Zofran, no need for Rectal ;) But I'm pretty sure I always see it with the other pediatric fever reducers.
