Question
My baby is 1 week and 5 days old. The hand, foot, and mouth disease has just healed, but over the past two days, the baby has started coughing and vomiting everything they eat. They can go without eating, but as soon as they eat, they start vomiting. I want to know what’s going on. Besides medication, what should I adjust in the treatment and what kind of assistance is needed? What illness could it be, and what are some good remedies?
Answer
The baby is currently experiencing cough and dry vomiting symptoms. It is important to note that late-stage hand, foot, and mouth disease may lead to complications such as respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. Guidance: The baby can take oral medications such as Pulifeihe Mixture and Ettanquity for symptomatic lung clearing. If dry vomiting occurs frequently, fasting can be considered first. Oral aluminum phosphate gel can be taken to adjust the gastrointestinal tract, and vitamin B6 tablets can be taken for nausea if necessary. If the symptoms persist, it is best to seek a hospital visit. Warmest wishes for the baby’s health.
