Patient's question:
For more than nine months, I've also had a cough for over a month. It's not very frequent, but I cough a few times every day. Recently, for the past two weeks, I don't know why, but every time I cough, I vomit, and it's quite severe. I've been to the hospital, and they said there are no problems with my urethra or lungs. I've taken cough medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine for more than a week, but it hasn't helped at all. Sometimes after drinking milk, I cough and then vomit, and I don't know why. I urgently hope for an expert's reply!! The kind of assistance I expect: I hope the doctor can clarify this.Doctor's answer:
According to the baby's symptoms, it may be a reaction caused by a fever. When the baby is sick, parents should face it calmly and observe and care for them carefully. In the early stages of a fever, it's best not to rush to the hospital to avoid cross-infection. As long as the baby is in good spirits, playing happily, and eating and sleeping normally, parents should arrange a quiet and comfortable environment for the baby to rest fully, drink plenty of plain water, and maintain a balanced diet to reduce gastrointestinal pressure. Drinking warm beverages can make the baby's mucus thinner, relieve the tension of the respiratory tract mucosa, and promote the expulsion of phlegm. It's best for the baby to drink warm water or warm milk, rice soup, etc. Fresh juice can also be given to the baby, but it's better to choose less irritating juices like apple juice and pear juice. It's not advisable to drink citrus juices like orange juice or grapefruit juice.
