Question
My child frequently experiences dry vomiting in the morning, occasionally accompanied by mucoid vomiting material. They have habits of smoking and drinking. I would like to know the cause of the mucoid vomiting and what detailed examinations are needed.
Answer
Based on the description, your child may have tonsillitis, a condition that is typically not curable but can be relieved with medication. It is recommended to drink plenty of water, maintain sufficient sleep, and avoid overtime work. Diet should include avoiding fried and spicy foods, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and consuming fruits rich in vitamins such as kiwis, figs, etc. Watermelons also help to cool down and alleviate throat discomfort. Additionally, it is suggested that your child chew on ice cream or Huasuan tablets to relieve symptoms.
