Patient's question:
The child has been coughing and vomiting at night, and I don't know what's wrong. I want to ask the teacher or doctor what to do. Is the three-year-old baby supposed to take medicine or something? This has been going on for a few days.Doctor's answer:
The baby has a cough accompanied by dry vomiting. Common causes include excessive phlegm, where the phlegm striking the throat leads to dry vomiting again. After indigestion and poor digestion, gastroesophageal reflux can also cause dry vomiting and coughing. If there is no fever and the baby is in good spirits, it is advisable to wait and see. Avoid eating two hours before bedtime to prevent difficulty in absorbing food, and consider adding inhalation therapy with a nebulizer. When the baby experiences dry vomiting, it is important to keep the baby upright to avoid choking again.
