Question
The baby just fell asleep and then coughed a few times and vomited. I’m not sure what’s going on. The baby hasn’t seemed very spirited today, but I don’t think it’s a cold. However, the older child at home is sick with a cold, so it might be an upper respiratory infection. It’s best to be more vigilant at this time and try to give the baby more water. There could be choking or chest blockage, so it’s best to go to the hospital for a CT scan for a detailed check-up. This season is a high-risk period for pneumonia, so it’s important to be cautious.
Answer
It could be caused by an upper respiratory infection. It’s recommended to keep a close watch and maintain hydration. If there is coughing or chest discomfort, it’s best to see a doctor for a chest X-ray as soon as possible, especially during the high-risk season for pneumonia.
