2 year old coughing and vomiting

Many two-year-old children suffer from coughing and vomiting. When a child has this condition, their parents are the most worried. They are afraid that it is caused by a serious disease and that it will have some adverse effects on the child. The cough and vomiting of a 2-year-old child is mostly due to problems in the child's lungs or bronchial tubes. Only when people understand the cause can they prescribe the right medicine. The following is a detailed introduction to the cough and vomiting of a 2-year-old child.

Treatment for baby's cough

1. Autumn pear soup: one autumn pear, 6 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa, and 30 grams of rock sugar. Cut the pear in half and remove the core. Add the Fritillaria cirrhosa powder into the pear. Then tie it up with thread. Put it into a pot and add rock sugar to cook. Drink water and eat pears.

2. Ginger, walnut and almond soup: 15 grams of walnut, 10 grams of almond, 15 grams of rock sugar, and 15 grams of ginger. Mix and mash, take 10 grams every night before going to bed, washed down with warm water.

3. Raw ephedra and red dates: 500 grams of red dates, 30 grams of raw ephedra. Add 2000 ml of water to the above medicines and boil them. After boiling, discard the ephedra water and keep the red dates for later use. Take 3-5 pieces each time and eat them after heating.

4. Frosted mulberry leaf water: 30 grams of frosted mulberry leaves, boil the frosted mulberry leaves into a decoction and drink it instead of tea.

Nursing care for children with cough and vomiting

1. To prevent children from coughing while sleeping at night, let them lie on their side. It is best to raise their head or upper body slightly with a towel or pillow to prevent respiratory secretions from flowing back into the trachea and causing coughing, which will affect their sleep. This can also make children feel more comfortable and relieve breathing difficulties.

2. When a child coughs so badly that he or she can't breathe, pick him or her up and pat his or her back gently, or let the child raise his or her upper body and sit up. This will make the child feel more comfortable and relieve the coughing symptoms.

3. When children have a severe cough, they should not play too hard, otherwise the cough will be aggravated. Also, pay attention to keeping the child's body warm, especially the soles of the feet and the top of the head, so as to avoid reflexively reducing respiratory resistance. However, do not let your child's body overheat, as clothes soaked with sweat are more likely to cause coughing.

4. Take the patient to see a doctor immediately if necessary. If a child's cough continues to worsen and never gets better, especially when there is difficulty breathing and the color of the lips is bad, the child should be taken to a doctor immediately to avoid delaying treatment.

5. When a child vomits, place him on the bed and let him lie quietly. At the same time, place a basin beside the bed to prevent the child from vomiting again. Also, rinse your child's mouth with cold boiled water to remove bad odor in the mouth.

6. Don’t rush to feed your child when he or she is vomiting, otherwise it will only aggravate the vomiting. Give your child some light salt water or sugar water every 10-15 minutes, and pay attention to whether the skin on his hands is dry to prevent dehydration.

7. When vomiting is severe, you should hold the child up or let the baby sit up. This will not only make the child feel more comfortable, but more importantly, you don't have to worry about the child's vomited food choking into the trachea and blocking the respiratory tract.

8. When children vomit, their clothes and sheets often get dirty. Be sure to change them frequently. If there is any odor left, it will more easily induce vomiting in children.
