When a baby falls ill, many illnesses often intertwine, causing difficulties for doctors to diagnose and treat, as well as for parents to take care of them in the later stages. Sometimes they suddenly get sick in the middle of the night, which can catch people off guard. So what's wrong with the baby having a fever, cough, and vomiting in the middle of the night?
Midnight vomiting and fever may indicate inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, while coughing may also be a symptom of a cold. Long term bloating and food accumulation in babies can lead to indigestion and hinder gastrointestinal motility. If the gastrointestinal tract cannot function properly, inflammation will occur. The white blood cells in the body will increase, fighting against various pathogens that cause inflammation, and the body temperature will be forced to rise. If digestion is poor, the body's resistance will decrease, and it is normal to catch a cold.
Another possibility is that there is inflammation in the lungs, and some bacteria entering the trachea and lungs can cause discomfort in the trachea, leading to coughing up bacteria and pollutants. Coughing too hard can cause spasms in the stomach and intestines, making it difficult to absorb digestive substances and sometimes leading to vomiting. Abnormal activity of the baby's lungs and intestines may cause symptoms of fever.
Regardless of the cause of vomiting, fever, and cough, parents should cooperate with doctors to receive proper treatment. The condition is quite complex and requires individualized treatment. Parents need to be patient and not act too hastily. It is impossible to cure it all at once and requires a process.
