Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is three years old this year. Recently, for some unknown reason, he seems to have caught a cold. In addition to fever and cough, he also vomits dry after meals. So I would like to ask the doctor, what should I do about cough with vomiting in children?Doctor's answer:
When a child has severe coughing, they may experience repeated dry coughing. The immediate priority is to treat the child's cough. According to your description, the cough has recurred after the child had a cold, which indicates a respiratory system issue. Oral medications that clear the lungs and cool the blood can be given to the child, such as Xiao'er Jizhi Tang, Gancao Heji, or Qingfei Heji, among others. These can be combined with various anti-inflammatory medications, such as Amoxicillin or Roxithromycin, for treatment.
