What should I do if my child vomits at night?

Patient's question:

Since I weaned my son, possibly because of a change in formula, he suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea, refusing to eat anything. Worried about hurting his health, I resumed breastfeeding him and also gave him Xingjun Powder. Now, aside from eating less, he has almost no symptoms during the day, but he vomits several times at night, usually around midnight. The vomit is clear milk with no sour smell and little solid content. Before vomiting, he cries for a short period, and after vomiting, he prefers to be held upright and generally continues to sleep. What should I do in this situation?
Duration and course of the current illness: 1 week
Current general condition: daytime condition

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Considering yin deficiency and lung heat, bronchial infection, or pneumonia, it is also related to diet. You should still pay attention to adjusting your child's diet as soon as possible. If the cough is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Wishing your child good health!
Suggestions: Drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits with nourishing yin properties, such as lily bulbs, tremella, and snow pears. Let your child drink warm water, warm milk, or rice porridge. You can also give your child fresh juice, choosing less irritating options like apple juice and pear juice, rather than citrus juices like orange juice or grapefruit juice.
