Question
Why do children still vomit when they have severe coughs?
Answer
Based on symptoms of coughing accompanied by nocturnal attack and vomiting after coughing, it may be a sign of mycoplasma infection. It is recommended to undergo mycoplasma testing, and if the results are positive, use azithromycin in conjunction with cough suppressants and expectorants for treatment. Moreover, dietary intake of foods such as mung bean soup or rice porridge made from mung beans can help clear heat and detoxify, or eating fruits like pomelos and pears can aid in clearing lung heat and alleviating cough.
