Rest: Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for the fever. If the vomiting was due to coughing/gagging, then treat the cough with warm liquids one/or honey. If the vomiting is unrelated to the cough, then offer small sips of clear liquids, until the vomiting stops. Then offer bland foods. If the vomit is green, bright yellow, bloody, or associated with stomach pain then go see your doctor.
