Why do children cough and vomit?

Sometimes, many situations can cause children to vomit, and coughing can also cause children to vomit. Coughing is very torturous for children and it happens repeatedly. Sometimes children cough and vomit. As parents, we are very heartbroken to see our children like this. So why do children cough and vomit? Let’s learn about it together below.

Because babies are small, their respiratory defense function is not yet complete, and their cough reflex is not sensitive. Their coughing and sputum symptoms are different from those of adults. Small babies will choke when drinking water or feeding. In severe cases, milk will come out of the mouth and nose, making it difficult to eat. If you neglect it, a weak baby may choke on milk and block breathing, causing suffocation and endangering his life. In order to stop the baby's cough as soon as possible, some people take the initiative to use cough suppressants such as Kebiqing, and many people use traditional methods to stew Fritillaria cirrhosa with rock sugar, or stew Fritillaria cirrhosa with raw pears. These practices are inappropriate. To understand this problem, we still have to start with the cause...Don't let your child stay at home all the time. Take him/her out for a walk and get some sun.

In cases of sexual infection or metabolic disorder, it is often accompanied by poisoning symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal distension.

4. Diseases of the cranial and nervous system: If symptoms of intracranial hypertension, meningeal irritation or intracranial space-occupying lesions occur, central projectile vomiting may be caused. There is no nausea before vomiting, but it is accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, coma, convulsions, etc.

5. Poisoning: Vomiting caused by local irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and the effect of the poison on the central nervous system.
