Vomiting and mild fever
My 14 month old baby had cold and cough. I used to give him mucolite drop and montair lc syrup. But yesterday I gave him amrox ls syrup. And also we traveled from home town to benglore 2 days back. After giving amrox ls syrup 1 hr later he vomited once and then after that when ever he eats or brestfeed he is vomiting. So I gave him domstal baby drop now vomiting is stoped but he has mild fever first it was 99.3 so I gave paracetamol then after 6 hr temperature is 99.7 so I again gave paracetamol. I don't understand what is happening is it about to worry? Is it necessary to go to doctor and when?

Greetings
The presentation is highly suggestive of a mild, self-limiting viral gastroenteritis or minor viral illness. The recorded temperatures (99.0°F–99.7°F) do not meet the clinical definition of a fever (which is 100.4°F / 38°C or higher) and are not currently a cause for clinical concern.Recommended Home Care PlanPrioritise Hydration: Continue breastfeeding. Transition to small, frequent feedings to maximise fluid retention and reduce the workload on the stomach.Medication Restraint: Defer the use of over-the-counter cough and cold syrups. These medications lack proven efficacy in infants and carry a risk of adverse effects.Monitor Output: Closely track hydration status. Ensure the infant maintains a baseline of at least 4 to 6 wet diapers within a 24-hour period.Red Flag Symptoms (Indications for Immediate Medical Evaluation)Instruct the caregivers to seek prompt medical attention if any of the following clinical changes occur:Persistent, repeated vomiting or an inability to tolerate oral fluids.A significant decrease in urine output or wet diapers (signs of dehydration).The onset of respiratory distress or any difficulty breathing.An escalation in temperature to 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.Marked changes in neurological status, such as unusual lethargy, excessive sleepiness, or inconsolable irritability

Most likely this is a viral illness/stomach upset and not something serious at present. Mild temperature like 99–99.7 is not significant fever. Keep baby well hydrated, continue breastfeeding in small frequent feeds and avoid giving multiple cough syrups for now. Observe closely.
Please visit a doctor if vomiting continues repeatedly, baby is not accepting feeds, urine output decreases, breathing difficulty develops, high fever comes or baby becomes unusually sleepy/irritable.
