What should I do if the baby coughs and spits?

Patient's question:

My baby is less than nine months old and has been coughing for three days. She's a bit short of breath, and lately, whenever she eats anything, she vomits. Even when taking medicine, she vomits. I don't know how to make it better. I'd like to ask, what medicine can help her recover quickly?

Doctor's answer:

The baby is nine months old, and coughing and wheezing have appeared again these days. Has there been a recurrence of fever, runny nose, or nasal congestion symptoms? Has the temperature been measured? If vomiting occurs while eating now, it may be necessary to seek hospital treatment. The baby cannot tolerate medication in this situation, so it is generally considered more likely to be bronchitis or upper respiratory tract infection. If there is severe fever and vomiting, pneumonia cannot be ruled out either. It is still recommended to go to the hospital for a complete blood count check.
