Patient's question:
Daughter had a slight cough a couple of days ago. I thought it would be fine after taking medicine, but the cough has become more severe. This morning, she also experienced dry vomiting again. I measured her temperature, and it wasn't feverish. I plan to take her to the pediatric emergency department at the hospital. I want to know how to handle a child's cough accompanied by dry vomiting.Doctor's answer:
The baby has a mild cough. When the cough subsides, it may stimulate the throat again, leading to dry coughing. Therefore, it is important to carefully observe whether the dry cough is caused by the cough or poor digestion. If the dry cough appears immediately after the cough, it is generally considered to be caused by the cough. It is necessary to carefully observe the cough and sputum, and if the cough is severe, it is recommended to have the baby's lung condition checked locally or to improve the etiological examination.
