A 5-year-old child has a cold, phlegm, and vomits when eating?

As children grow up, it is common for them to catch colds and fevers. Many children will have symptoms of sputum and vomiting after catching a cold. This is usually caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. If the symptoms are severe, it is best to take your baby to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to find out what type of cold it is, then treat it symptomatically and use medication under the guidance of a doctor.

Why is my baby coughing?

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, coughs are divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs, which can be determined by observing the baby's tongue coating. White tongue coating indicates wind-cold cough, while red and yellow tongue coating indicates wind-heat cough. According to Western medical theory, baby's cough may be caused by bronchitis, respiratory tract infection, allergies, etc.

Causes of baby cough

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory: Coughs can be divided into exogenous coughs and endogenous coughs, and exogenous coughs can be further divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. You can judge by observing the baby's tongue coating.

If the baby's tongue is coated with white fur, it means that the child has a cold and cough, which means that the child has a severe cold and cough. If the sputum is also thin, white and sticky, and the child has a stuffy nose and runny nose, the child should eat some warm, expectorant and cough-relieving foods.

If the baby's tongue coating is yellow or red, it is a wind-heat cough, which means that the baby has a lot of internal heat. The phlegm when coughing is yellow and thick, which is easy to cough up, and there is a sore throat. Eat foods that clear the lungs, reduce phlegm and relieve cough

If the cough caused by internal injury lasts for a long time or recurs, parents should pay attention to giving their children foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys, and replenish the lung qi.

2. Western medicine theory: When a baby coughs, you should pay attention to the nature of the cough, the time when the cough occurs, and the nature of the sputum. Common diseases that cause cough include:

(1) Chronic infection of the upper and lower respiratory tract.

(2) Foreign objects and other stimuli, such as foreign objects in the trachea or dry or cold weather, can cause coughing.

(3) Pleural diseases, such as pleurisy or compression of organs adjacent to the pleura, can also cause cough.

(4) Allergic cough is usually caused by an allergic constitution. Its allergen is not very clear. It is usually not caused by drugs and usually has a family history.

In fact, there are many reasons that cause babies to cough, such as colds, dry air in the room, lack of water, etc. In addition, if the baby chokes severely on milk and inhales it into the lungs, it can also cause coughing, but this situation is usually accompanied by fever. If the baby has no other symptoms, he will only cough occasionally. There is no need to worry. Just maintain the humidity in the room and give your baby more water.
