Patient's question:
The baby has been dry vomiting for several days. On the afternoon of the 13th, the vomiting became more frequent, but it has slightly eased these past few days, but there is still some vomiting. Previously, one day the baby cried very hard. On the 14th, it seemed that the baby's throat was a bit hoarse, but it's better now. Also (during this period, the baby hasn't eaten for about 15 hours, and has only eaten one glucose solution—on the evening of the 12th to 10 a.m. on the 13th). What's going on? I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
It could be due to hoarseness caused by prolonged loud crying, or it might lead to dry coughing. It is recommended to visit a pediatric department and an otolaryngology department in a regular hospital for a follow-up examination, including a routine chest X-ray. Blood tests and C-reactive protein tests should also be conducted. Apply oral spray to the throat, avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a light diet, prevent catching a cold, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water.The above suggestions are for the question "What could be the reason for a baby's continuous dry cough for several days?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
