Question
The child, who is two and a half years old, frequently vomits during cold weather. The parents have tried giving cold medicine and ginger+gingko biloba tea for treatment, but the results have been unsatisfactory. Subsequently, the symptoms have improved, but the cause and long-term treatment methods are not clear.
Answer
The child vomited due to a gastrointestinal cold after catching a cold. Additionally, persistent coughing can lead to throat discomfort and vomiting. It is recommended to give the child a cough syrup for clearing the lungs and amoxicillin, along with digestive tablets. In the following days, it is advisable to stick to a light diet such as rice soup with vegetable soup or rice soup with salt, which can help recover the child’s gastrointestinal function. Once the child is fully recovered, normal eating can be resumed. May the child recover soon!
