Question

What’s causing the baby to have intermittent runny nose, coughing, and vomiting? The girl is 2 years old, and her spirit is not good recently, but I’m not sure why.

Answer

Based on the description, it cannot be determined whether it is a cold or heat-related illness. If the child has hiccups, clear runny nose, feeling cold with chills, and a white tongue coating, it is more likely to be a common cold. If there is yellowish runny nose, asthma with warm exhalation, a yellow tongue coating, frequent urination, and constipation, it is more likely to be a heat-related illness. Different causes lead to different symptoms. It is recommended to consult a doctor for examination, and to pay attention to warmth and take preventive measures. Maintain a light diet and drink plenty of hot water.
