first off, no one here is a pediatrician. You probably need to see one.
Nextly, what fever reducer are you using? If Tylenol/acetaminophen/paracetemol (did I hit every name it seems to go by yet?) then perhaps you should find out from a doctor what dose of ibuprofen to try.
2 months old... what are you feeding the child? It is possible that your daughter has a milk allergy on top of things and needs a soy-based formula to keep food in.
Also, look into using pedialyte (DO NOT USE GATORADE) to replenish electrolytes while she is vomiting and having diharea.
I find it worrysome that you went to an ER, but not a regular pediatrician... do you not have a regular care provider? Admittedly it isn't always feasible with insurance issues, but I would recommend it for the sake of getting conistent care for your child. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
