Hi,

It's important to note that while medications like Meftal-P and Allegra can help alleviate symptoms such as fever and cough, they are not a cure for underlying illnesses. A doctor will be able to examine your daughter PERSONALLY and determine the underlying cause of her symptoms, which may require specific treatment.

In the meantime, there are some steps you can take to help alleviate your daughter's symptoms:
* Encourage your daughter to rest and drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte solutions.
* Use a cool, damp cloth to wipe her forehead and body to help bring down her fever.
* Make sure she gets plenty of fresh air and stays comfortable.
* If she continues to vomit while coughing, try giving her smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of large meals.
* Avoid exposing your daughter to potential irritants such as smoke, strong perfumes, or other chemicals that could make her cough worse.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Diwashish Biswas, Internal Medicine Specialist
