Question
My child is 16 months old, and last night they kept vomiting and had diarrhea. How can I stop the vomiting?
Answer
When a child has bronchitis, they often experience varying degrees of fever, cough, reduced appetite, and may accompany dry heaves, nausea, or vomiting. Younger children may also exhibit symptoms such as wheezing or breathing difficulties typical of bronchiolitis. It is important to frequently change the baby’s sleeping position to facilitate the expulsion of respiratory secretions. Cover the child well with a blanket during sleep to maintain body temperature above 36.5°C. Encourage plenty of water intake and a light diet.
