Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern.

Let me assure that children sometimes throw up due to the throat irritation and excessive mucus. This is nothing to be concerned about. The medicines are proper and please continue r them.

You can go ahead with the vaccination and there is nothing to be concerned about.

I had few more doubts
1. we stay in 14th floor. thus pressure will b comparatively low from ground floor. does this effect babies any way.
2. we tried cleaning her nose with dropper but droppers are comparetively bigger than her nose . is there any way to clean the nose.
3. any home remedy to clear the nose congestion ?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back.

1. The thin air at 14th floor is nothing to be concerned about. The baby automatically acclamatises to the situation. You need not worry about the same.
2. You do not need to clean his nose. Just apply Nasoclear Saline nasal drops. It will hydrate the nose and will help in clearing the debris and blockage.
3. You can buy saline nose drops at a pharmacy, or you can make your own saline solution:
Add 1 cup (240 mL) clean water to a clean container.
Add 0.5 tsp (2.5 g) salt to the water.
Add 0.5 tsp (2.5 g)baking soda.

Apply this solution drop by drop to each nostril when needed.
