Question
The 4-month-old child has had less cough in the past week, but recently, coughing is accompanied by vomiting, and sometimes eating causes throat tickling, with a sensation of a foreign object in the throat and a roaring sound during breathing. This afternoon, after receiving an injection, vomiting occurred shortly afterward. They have taken medication for a few days and received injections at the hospital for two days. Seeking help: Want to know what kind of illness it might be, as the family is very anxious and unsure what to do.
Answer
Cough accompanied by dry vomiting, occasional throat tickling during eating, and a sensation of a foreign object in the throat are symptoms of excessive stomach fire. The probable illness could be gastritis, which is often difficult to control with Western medicine. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. I have treated similar cases before, and as long as the medicine is correctly matched to the symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine is not inferior in terms of effectiveness and speed. May I ask what medication was taken before? Were injections given for two days using anti-inflammatory drugs?
