Patient's question:
The child is now 3 and a half years old. Previously, it happened occasionally, but recently these past few days, it has been every day. Every night, around midnight, they cough a few times and then immediately vomit.Previous treatment and effectiveness: The hospital examination found nothing wrong.
What kind of assistance is needed: How did it come about?
Doctor's answer:
The child's dry cough and vomiting are caused by contagion, and a urine test is needed to check for bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infection. If the cough lasts for a long time, it's important to be vigilant about the possibility of pneumonia.Advice: If the child experiences frequent dry vomiting, it's also necessary to pay attention to whether they may have symptoms of dehydration, such as decreased urine output, poor skin elasticity, sunken eyes, and lethargy. If these dehydration symptoms reappear, seek immediate medical attention for intravenous fluid treatment. If the cough is not severe and the vomiting is infrequent, oral probiotics can be used to adjust the intestinal flora, and the situation should be closely monitored.
