Patient's question:
The baby went out to play, drank a cup of yogurt in the middle, and after playing for two hours, he came home and went to sleep. When he woke up, he drank some soy milk and then vomited everything. A while later, he was given an egg, but he vomited it too. What could be the reason? What should be done? He has not been treated before, and I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Your main issue is that your child is 16 months old, and the main symptom is dry cough. According to your description, after playing, the child again experienced dry cough, which may be due to a cold. After a cold, it is easy to experience gastrointestinal dysfunction again, so the dry cough may reappear. If there are no other symptoms, you can temporarily withhold food and drink for 2 hours. If there is no more dry cough, you can have a bowel movement. If the dry cough still persists, you can take oral medication.If the child has a runny nose or cough, you may need to use cold medicine. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can use fever-reducing medication to lower the fever.
