Question
A 1.5-year-old baby has been coughing for a week, and for the past four or five days, vomiting occurs during coughing. Although the child still has an appetite and a desire to play, the doctor has been administering intravenous treatment for a week and using medication every night. Why does the child cough and vomit?
Answer
Experts suggest that the baby’s cough and vomiting may be caused by viral and bacterial infections, and timely treatment can lead to full recovery. It is recommended to use antibiotics such as roxithromycin or azithromycin under a doctor’s guidance, along with Qingguo Zhisou Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine pill for stopping cough). Pay special attention to preventing colds in daily life to avoid fever caused by catching a cold. We hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish the baby a healthy recovery.
