Question
My child has had a slight cough for the past two days, and after coughing, they start to vomit, followed by diarrhea, and they don’t feel well, don’t want to eat, and sometimes vomit during meals. I’ve visited several places without improvement and would like to ask what could be the cause.
Answer
Based on the information you provided, coughing may stimulate the throat, leading to vomiting. Additionally, the lungs and large intestine are interrelated internally, so coughing may indirectly affect the digestive system. I suggest taking your child to a pediatrician for a follow-up consultation and checking their blood routine. In terms of diet, maintain light and easy-to-digest foods, avoid cold foods. At the same time, ensure adequate rest, keep warm, and maintain a warm and humid indoor environment. Pay attention to whether there is phlegm when coughing, observe the color, texture, and amount of phlegm, as well as the frequency, color, texture, and amount of stool. Wishing your child a speedy recovery and a healthy body and beautiful life.
