Question

My daughter often coughs at night, and even though her lungs have been checked and are fine, I suspect it might be a tracheal issue. Additionally, she also vomits when she coughs. I’m wondering if this could be due to eating too much at night or issues with the spleen and stomach, and whether I should use syrup-type medications for treatment.

Answer

This could be a symptom of allergic cold cough or acute bronchitis. You can try taking Azithromycin granules, Banxia Qingfei syrup, Chlorpheniramine granules, and Ketotifen tablets for treatment, which usually work well. At the same time, it is recommended to drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and cold foods, and keep warm to prevent catching a cold.
