Question
How should I handle a child who has been taking cough medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs for the past half month, but now is vomiting after coughing?
Answer
The child has been taking cough medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs after visiting the hospital for a cough in the past half month. They were prescribed two tablets of azithromycin a day, taken for five days. However, the child now vomits every time they cough. Could it be due to taking too much azithromycin? The dosage of azithromycin should be estimated based on the child’s weight, along with the specific concentration of your azithromycin. Additionally, there could be other diseases related to dry vomiting, such as viral influenza or enteritis. Start with a light diet and closely observe the situation. The above suggestions are for the question about “visiting the hospital for a cough in the past half month and taking some cough medicine and anti-inflammatory drugs.” I hope this helps and wish you good health!
