The child coughed and vomited. What is the reason for the child's cough and vomiting?

Children are usually very susceptible to illness, and the most common illness is cold and cough. However, if the illness is not serious, the child will recover quickly. However, if the illness is not serious, timely treatment is required. So, the child coughs and vomits? What is the reason for the child's cough and vomiting?

When a child coughs violently, it may irritate the throat and cause a reflex cough, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If a baby coughs and vomits, it is considered to be an upper respiratory tract infection or pneumonia caused by cold, environmental factors, etc. If the child's cough and vomiting are caused by contact with allergens, it can be relieved by taking theophylline bronchodilators. It is recommended that the child stop eating immediately when coughing, and drink some warm water when it is slightly relieved, and pat the child on the back to relieve the symptoms. The baby vomits after coughing, and does not vomit when there is no cough, which means that the condition has nothing to do with gastrointestinal diseases, but is just a simple respiratory problem. However, if the child's cough and vomiting are caused by bacterial infection of the trachea and bronchus, it can be treated by taking anti-inflammatory drugs.

When children vomit after coughing, especially infants, it is often considered that the sputum is relatively sticky and not easy to cough up, so the child's hard coughing stimulates the nerves and causes vomiting. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it may also be food accumulation, especially when coughing in the middle of the night and vomiting is dinner or stomach contents. In this case, the younger the child, usually if there is no fever and the mental state is good, you can take medicine on your own and observe, including the use of heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines and digestive medicines, as well as cough and phlegm medicines. If the child's cough is more severe, accompanied by fever or asthma, it is often considered to be acute bronchitis or pneumonia. In this case, it is not recommended to observe at home by yourself. You need to go to the pediatric department for further consultation, blood tests, chest X-rays, and intravenous treatment if necessary.

1. Keep fresh air in the living room. Dirty air can irritate the respiratory mucosa, causing congestion, edema, abnormal secretion or aggravated coughing, which can cause wheezing symptoms in severe cases. Therefore, in order to keep the indoor air fresh, the kitchen should exhaust fumes, parents should not smoke at home, and should open the windows regularly to breathe.

2. Add or remove clothes and blankets in time. Many parents believe that children are more afraid of cold than adults, so they often cover their children too thickly regardless of the season, indoors or outdoors, and prevent them from feeling the slightest bit of cold. As a result, the children's body regulation ability is poor and their resistance is low.

In winter, do outdoor activities once a day for 2 to 3 minutes, and gradually extend to 1 to 2 hours. Make an exercise plan for your baby. Do not violate the laws of your child's growth and development. It is best to consult a pediatrician.
