Every baby's growth experience is very bumpy, and this experience is very long, during which various twists and turns are inevitable. Getting sick is something that every baby experiences as they grow up, and every time a baby gets sick, the mother feels particularly helpless. So let's find out what causes cough and vomiting in a 2-year-old baby?
Coughing and vomiting in a 2-year-old baby is not uncommon, almost every baby who has coughed has experienced it. This is because when a baby coughs, the pressure in the abdominal cavity will instantly increase, and this pressure will impact the stomach, causing the stomach to be squeezed, and the food in the stomach will be squeezed out accordingly. Furthermore, when a baby coughs, it is inevitable that it will cause nausea and vomiting.
When a baby coughs and vomits, mothers should not be flustered, as this can only waste time and pose greater safety risks to the baby. At this point, the mother should immediately pick up the baby, let the baby's head slightly lower, and pat the baby's back with a hollow palm to help the baby smoothly vomit out of the mouth.
After the baby stops vomiting, wipe their mouth clean with a drool towel. Then prepare a cup of warm water for the baby and let them rinse their mouth several times to remove any unpleasant odors from their mouth. At this time, do not immediately let the baby lie down, but hold the baby and observe for a while. If the baby does not show any abnormalities and no longer vomits, the baby can be allowed to lie down.
