How to handle cough with dry heaves in children

Patient's question:

My child is six and a half months old. I took them to the hospital, and they said it was bronchitis. They stayed in the hospital for six days. The doctor said there were no more inflammation, but after coming home, the child still coughs sometimes and even vomits. Moreover, the child refuses to take medicine and spits out the syrup after drinking a little.

Doctor's answer:

Children experiencing recurrent cough symptoms are likely suffering from an upper respiratory infection. In this case, it's important to pay attention to drinking more water to dissolve mucus, and also to be mindful of the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, you can take some herbal preparations that moisten the lungs, expel phlegm, and relieve cough, which can take effect quickly.
Additionally, it's important to maintain a light diet and drink more water for the child to avoid catching colds again. Also, try to eat more fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious foods regularly.
