Coughing and vomiting are common symptoms in two-year-old babies. For experienced mothers, solving these problems may be a piece of cake, but for novice mothers, it is even more difficult. If they are worried, what should they do if a two-year-old baby coughs and vomits?
There are two possibilities for a two-year-old baby to vomit when coughing. One is that the baby had good digestion before and didn't vomit much, and only vomited recently after coughing. The other is that the baby had poor digestion before and recently caught a cold and cough, and vomited even more severely. The former symptom mainly needs to be treated for colds and coughs, while the latter symptom requires the treatment of coughing and vomiting together. The following measures can be taken during treatment:
1. If the cough is caused by cold, Baoma can buy some traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations from the pharmacy to treat the cold and cough, and it is best to drink it with Chinese medicine and western medicine if it is serious. Coughing usually causes fever. Mothers should check their babies' temperature regularly, and if the condition worsens, they must seek medical attention promptly. In addition, Baoma can vaccinate your baby against influenza, which can effectively prevent your baby from coughing caused by influenza.
2. If the baby vomits due to being blown by cold air, you can give the baby more hot water and cover their stomach with a hot water bottle. If it is caused by indigestion, babies can be given some digestive aid medication to reduce their milk intake.
