Question
Why does a child cough and vomit after drinking plain water?
Answer
This could be due to the baby’s weaker gastrointestinal system function, which leads to coughing and vomiting after drinking plain water. It is recommended to keep warm, such as by placing a navel patch or using a hot water bottle to warm the abdomen. If the baby experiences stomach pain, vomiting, and coughing, it is necessary to consider abdominal pain and nausea caused by indigestion, as well as possible upper respiratory tract infections.
