Patient's question:
My daughter is only two years old. Recently, she caught a cold, and her nose has been running non-stop. She also has a severe cough. Moreover, whenever I feed her, she vomits uncontrollably. I'm really at my wit's end. What should I do about my baby's cold, cough, and vomiting? I hope the doctor can give me some better advice.Doctor's answer:
The child is currently experiencing symptoms of cough and dry vomiting again. It is considered to be an acute respiratory infection. There are also secondary symptoms affecting the gastrointestinal tract. At this time, it is necessary to actively follow up for a re-examination, see a respiratory medicine specialist, and use antibiotics for anti-infection treatment. Symptomatic treatments such as expectorant and cough relief are also required. Additionally, treatments like omeprazole should be used to protect the gastric mucosa and stabilize the symptoms of vomiting. It is also important to pay attention to preventing abdominal coldness.
