Question: hi for my nice who is 4 months.. she has been throwing up about 2 or three times a day for the past 2 days.. and she is coughing.. no fever and otherwise she seems ok.. doctor is away for another couple days.. should i wait and see if she gets better? we got some saline nose drops from pharmacy cos of her blocked nose.. will try that first.. is it normal for babies to vomit when they cough? she doesnt only vomit after feeds.. its quite random
Brief Answer:
It's very common to vomit after cough - don't worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi... I understand your concern. It is very common for children to vomit after coughing. Do not worry about it. As you said it will be random only. Unless the child is getting dehydrated with low urine output or if the vomiting is green or bilious in colour, you need not worry about this.
There is no need for emergency treatment requirement, you can wait and see.
