How to handle dry cough in 1-year-old babies

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, I had a cold and fever, went to the clinic, got some medicine, and the fever went down. But yesterday, I started vomiting. Basically, I vomit whatever I eat. Also, my baby doesn't like taking medicine. The day before yesterday, I had to give him medicine by force, and I wonder if this has caused him psychological fear.
Past Treatment and Effect: The day before yesterday, I had a cold and fever, went to the clinic, got some medicine, and the fever went down.
Help Needed: I want to ask the doctor how to solve this.

Doctor's answer:

The current condition of the child is likely caused by inflamed lymph nodes in the intestines, so there is no need to worry. This situation is usually brought on by acute gastritis or catching a cold, not psychological fear from taking medication. Currently, the child is experiencing severe nausea, and oral medication is not effective. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination and then treat accordingly. It is important to drink plenty of water, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid catching a cold.
