What causes children to cough and vomit?

Many children are more prone to coughing and vomiting. When this happens, parents must be particularly worried and want to take some measures to treat the condition. There are many reasons that cause children to cough and vomit. It may be caused by gastrointestinal problems or bronchial diseases. The following is a detailed introduction to the causes of children's coughing and vomiting.

When children cough violently, they may vomit, which is mainly related to their shallow appetite. After symptomatic treatment of cough, the vomiting situation will improve. First of all, we need to clarify the cause of the child's cough. The most common cause is respiratory tract infection, but foreign body inhalation or allergic cough can also cause it. You can take your child to the local public hospital's pediatric outpatient clinic in time for a complete blood routine, chest X-ray, allergen and other examinations to clarify the cause of the cough and give symptomatic treatment with antipathogens and cough suppressants. If it is caused by allergic factors, anti-allergic treatment can be given; if it is caused by foreign body inhalation, bronchoscopic treatment should be given in time.

Children's cough is actually a defensive self-protection movement. Any cause of acute or chronic inflammation of the respiratory tract can cause coughing. The main causes are the following, including upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pharyngitis, allergies and inhalation of foreign objects.

Warm reminder: During the period when children are coughing, our parents and friends must not take it lightly. They should provide symptomatic treatment according to the specific situation of the child. The humidity of the indoor air should be maintained at ordinary times to help clear mucus in the lungs and calm the cough. The diet should be light, and make sure your baby drinks plenty of water and gets more rest.

If a child coughs and vomits at night, it is quite serious and is most likely caused by irritation of respiratory secretions. First of all, the quickest way to stop coughing is to let the baby inhale steam to relieve the symptoms of coughing, because steam can make the air humid and help clear the mucus in the child's lungs, thereby calming the cough. In addition, during the cough period, you can let your child drink more water and take appropriate oral antitussive drugs, such as cefpodoxime axetil, honey-refined Chuanbei loquat paste, etc. Once you find that the cough does not stop, you must go to the pediatric department of a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, otherwise it will further affect the baby's lungs.
