He could be suffering from variant of Bronchial asthma which could also occur sometimes due to Gastr-oesophageal reflux disorder. Take a opinion of pediatric surgeon to rule it out.

Naturopathy & Yoga Specialist Dr. Nanda Pandey's  Response
Hi, this is Dr Nanda, quite a few children go through this phase during the initial period of life you can try out some home remidies to improove the situation.
1)One spoon of honey with five drops of ginger extract once a day on a regular basis to be given orally
2)Rub few drops of camphor oil to the feet and cover with a socks during the night while sleeping
3)Avoid all food and drinks from the refrigerator
4) Try to give two leaves of tulsi along with food on regular basis
Preventive measures:Hygiene and dust free should be the utmost priority,make sure the AC filters are cleaned regularly .Simple fabric dust also can be the cause for the persistent cough in children,using thick cotton sheets will be doing good instead of soft cotton sheets which gives out more dust.All the best take care.

In my opinion the vomiting is induced by coughing, so if the coughing stops, the vomiting episodes will stop.

The best treatment for cough and cold in Ayurveda is Tulasi and Vasaka.

Take one Cap.Tulasi, open it and mix the powder with one tsp. of honey, give it after breakfast.

Take one Cap.Vasaka, open it and mix the powder with one tsp. of honey, give it after dinner.

Hopefully this will stop the cough and cold problem of your child.

Simultaneously, if possible have an energy healing session done on your child preferably on a weekly basis for 4 weeks and he will be completely relieved from the cough and cold problem.

Hope this answers your question.

I do online healing session for free to let know the effectiveness of the healing session.

Homeopath Dr. C. J. Varghese's  Response
Hello Inderjit,

Getting frequent cough means that your son has got a genetic tendency to get cough. This can be cured with the genetic and constitutional method of Homoeopathy.

By saying that you have started taking Homoeopathic treatment alone, it does not mean that he will be cured. It depends very much on the expertise of the physician. The treatment has to be Miasmatic, meaning genetic in the Homoeopathic way of expression. A very detailed case taking and analysis are required to find his similar remedy to cure him. Therefore make sure that your doctor is an expert in the art and science of Homoeopathy.

By the right way of cure with Homoeopathy, HE has to be cured first and not his cough. This I say because his cough has become a chronic problem and the treatment now has to be a chronic one. Once HE is cured, his cough will be cured rapidly and permanently.

If you find your Homoeopathic physician an expert in Homoeopathy, continue with his treatment and your son will be cured.

If you are not confident with the Homoeopath who is treating your son, you can get back to me with your son's detailed case. I can help you. I can even send to you a case taking form in which you can develop his case. An expert Homoeopath takes into consideration, not only his physical make up but also his mental and general make ups for finalizing his remedy.

The SPORLAC powder is a probiotic of lactobacilli that help to populate the small intestine with beneficial bacteria. That was given only to help the vomiting process that was associated with the cough. By relieving the vomiting his cough is not going to be cured. It may have temporary relief for the vomiting only.

With Best Wishes,
Dr C. J. Varghese
Homoeopath

1. your symptoms are pointing towards URTI (upper respiratory tract infection) and since you have already seen specialist they must have ruled out the same.
2. because he is getting these symptoms continuously,make sure your place of living is not having cold climate all around the year because many virus lives in low humidity, any running epidemic in the locality?
3. before labeling a fever as viral, check for pallor,jaundice,neck stiffness, Abdomen for liver and spleen and auscultate the chest.
5. are routine investigations like Hb%,WBC,ESR,Widal test,Urine and X-ray chest carried out, because additional tretament will depend on the cause.
6. give soft food,soft rice with milk/ghee,plain daal,boiled vegetables, plenty of electrolytes.

Homeopath Dr. Mungara Raveendra's  Response
hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of ALLERGY (ALLERGIC BRONCHITIS ) is the cause for your son sufferings.

The body’s defense mechanism, the immune system, reacts to the allergen as if it were a dangerous organism, in trying to neutralize the antigen, the body releases histamine, which produces the allergy symptoms.


DIET TO FOLLWO;
-     No sugar; which is an irritant to mucus membranes, although honey is good.
-     Reduce starch intake to your baby.
-     No white refined flour.
-     No salt.
-     Give food to her high in vitamins A and C,and calcium.
-     Avoiding frying foods which make fats less digestible to your baby

treatment plan;

i advise you taking Homeopathic medicines gives safe and permanent cure for your complaints

consult your local homeopathic physician for correct diagnosis of the case and remedy to fit your son complaints.

I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
