Baby has a slight cough and loose stools, what should I do?

Patient's question:

My baby is four months old. For the past four days, she has been having about three bowel movements a day, which are a bit loose. She has also had some mild coughing. Tonight, her cough suddenly became a bit more severe, and whenever she coughs, she vomits milk, eventually emptying her stomach. Now, she's just dry heaving!

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description of the condition, the baby has suddenly experienced a relief from coughing. First, you parents should measure the child's temperature changes to see if there is a fever. This is to rule out the possibility of the child getting a cold again. According to your description of the condition, you can first go to a pharmacy outside to buy Children's Cold Relief Granules and Jizhi Syrup to bring back for the child to take orally. This can help with antiviral and lung clearing effects. Additionally, give the child more warm water to drink and pay attention to keeping warm. If necessary, go to the hospital pediatric department to make an appointment for a follow-up visit.
