Question
What are the reasons for children often coughing and vomiting?
Answer
Children who cough and vomit may be caused by various factors, including colds, allergies, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux. Understanding the causes can help in targeted treatment and symptom improvement. For children with excessive phlegm, thick sputum that is difficult to cough up, symptomatic expectorant medication such as Mucolytic and TYLENOL Cold Cough Syrup should be used. At the same time, ensure that the child has enough water intake to dilute the sputum, which helps in expelling it. For those with coughs accompanied by obvious signs of inflammation, such as fever, yellowish and thick sputum, and increased white blood cells, antibiotics such as Kanamycin and Amoxicillin can be added. In addition, treatment should be based on the etiology of the cough.
