My 6 yr old had 102 fever and complaining of stomach aches last night. His vomit smelled just like permanent wave solutions (type of ammonia). He recently started a stimulant XR ADHD medication this week as well. Not sure if this a side effect of the meds or just a stomach virus. What would cause that particular odor?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor. Fever with vomiting in a 6-year-old child could be due to food poisoning or gastroenteritis. This could be due food that he ate 1 day back. This seems unlikely due to XR ADHD because if it is due to this Chat Doctor.  In my opinion, you should give antibiotic like syrup of lox (5 ml=50 mg) three times a day for 3 days, syrup coastal 5 ml three times a day for 2 days. Review after 2 days. I hope this will help you. Take care.
