Question
When a child has a severe cough, it’s accompanied by vomiting. What should be done when a child has coughing with vomiting?
Answer
When a child experiences severe coughing, it may be accompanied by dry vomiting. The immediate priority is to treat the child’s cough. Based on your description, the child’s cough appeared after having a cold, indicating a respiratory system illness. You can give the child oral medications to clear the lungs and cool the blood, such as pediatric emergency syrup, licorice mixture, or lung-clearing combination. You can also combine these with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications, such as amoxicillin, roxithromycin, and other similar drugs for treatment.
