Does your child vomit out everything when he coughs while sleeping at night?

The baby's stomach and intestines are very weak. If the baby is not fed properly or has other diseases, it will cause the baby to vomit while sleeping or drinking milk. If the baby vomits when coughing while sleeping, it is likely that there is a problem with the baby's stomach and intestines. However, it may also be caused by bronchitis. If you want to confirm the diagnosis, it is best to take the baby to the hospital for treatment to avoid worsening of the condition and increase the difficulty of treatment.

The dangers of bronchitis and pneumonia in babies

Children may experience high fever, hypoxia, dyspnea, acute respiratory failure, and even complications such as atelectasis, emphysema, empyema, pyopneumothorax, lung abscess, pericarditis, sepsis, etc., which may be life-threatening.

If childhood bronchitis cannot be completely cured and recurs repeatedly, it will turn into chronic bronchitis, and further develop into emphysema and cor pulmonale. Children may suffer from repeated attacks, with long-term intermittent coughing, sputum, and wheezing, and may experience exertional shortness of breath, palpitations, cyanosis, and edema, which may not be cured for a long time.

Symptoms of bronchitis and pneumonia in babies

1. General symptoms. When a child becomes abnormally irritable, parents should promptly help the child find out the cause of the disease and measure the child's temperature regularly. If the temperature is as high as 38°C, the child should be taken to the hospital for further examination to avoid continued irregular fever, which will cause the child to have an abnormal body temperature and easily cause milk to overflow from the nose.

2. Cough. When a newborn baby has a cough, in addition to the symptoms of choking and common cold, special attention should be paid to the presence of bronchial pneumonia in the newborn baby. Do not ignore the problem of coughing in a newborn baby, and do not blindly give the child some cough suppressants. Because the child is young and has low immunity, especially premature babies, the opportunity for treatment should be seized.

3. Difficulty breathing. If a newborn baby has passive head flexion, abnormally rapid and difficult breathing, prolonged breathing, gradually severe flaring of the nostrils, and the baby's nails are clear purple, parents should remain calm and distinguish it from cervical stiffness in a timely manner.

4. Fixed fine moist rales in the lungs. In the early stages of the symptoms, the chest features are not obvious, and the child is still feeling uncomfortable and cannot express it correctly with words. If the problem is not resolved, the child will cry incessantly. During the crying process, there will be slight crepitations, and even when the child is quiet, obvious percussion dullness can be heard.

Bronchitis and pneumonia can cause many dangers to babies, and the conditions can be mild or severe. If they are not treated for a long time, they can be life-threatening. We must pay attention to this disease in babies. Mothers should strengthen their babies' physical exercise, improve their babies' resistance, keep them away from infected people, and create a clean and hygienic environment.
