Once the symptoms abate, the body temperature will come back to normal. You can raise the thermostat slightly and if she feels cold can cover her with a sheet.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
This looks more like stomach flu. Eating yoghurt, antacid and drinking plenty of fluids will help. It could also be a case of food poisoning. Again the treatment is same. Usually symptoms subside within 48 hrs.   Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
