Patient's question:
My child is 4 months and a week old. They have been coughing for over a week, but it's not too frequent. Recently, they sometimes vomit when coughing, sometimes choke while eating, and sometimes feel like something is coming out of their throat with a hoarse sound. They just got a shot this afternoon, and shortly after eating, they vomited.Past Treatment and Effectiveness:
They took some medicine for a few days and got two shots at the hospital.
Help Needed:
I want to know what illness they might have. Everyone in the family is very worried and doesn't know what to do!
Doctor's answer:
Recently, I have been coughing with dry heaves, sometimes choking while eating, and sometimes feeling like there's something stuck in my throat with a hoarse sound. Excessive stomach fire has led me to wonder what illness I might have: gastritis (no major issues). This condition, if not controlled by Western medicine, is best treated with traditional Chinese medicine therapy. I have treated cases like this before, and as long as the treatment is correctly targeted, traditional Chinese medicine is no less effective or faster than Western medicine. After taking a few days of medicine: What medicine did you take? Did you get two injections of anti-inflammatory medication?
