Question

What to do about a child’s coughing and vomiting?

Answer

Children often experience vomiting after coughing, which is generally not a major concern. The main thing to do is to keep the child upright while coughing and to encourage the consumption of warm water to help thin out mucus, making it easier to cough up. No special treatment is usually required. Of course, it’s important to determine the cause of the cough and to conduct effective anti-inflammatory and symptomatic treatment to alleviate coughing and reduce vomiting symptoms. Most often, children’s coughs are caused by respiratory pathogen infections, and it is necessary to carry out relevant examinations for identification and diagnosis, and actively adopt anti-inflammatory treatment.
