How Can Persistent Cough With Rhinitis And Vomiting Be Treated?

My daughter is 1 year and 2months old. Since January (month she was born) she has been constantly falling sick. She had spell of vomiting. then she had cold with running nose, fever and cough followed by vomit again. We decided to take a 2nd opinion and changed pediatrician in the beginning of Feb. The 2nd doctor diagnosed she had an infected adenoid.He prescribed an antibiotic for 3 weeks. she was better by the end of 3rd week, but then again she got cold, cough and vomit with slight fever. aging the doc said that she had a bacterial infection and we got another antibiotic for 5 days. she was alright for a couple of days and then she had running nose (which i thought as cold). The running nose reduced and today she started coughing again with vomit. I am really worried as she has been constantly sick. please advice.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
hello dear!
probably your daughter is having enlarged adenoids. I would like to have a detailed history regarding her symptoms like is she a mouth breather?does she snor at night? do you have a family history of allergy and asthma?was thsi child delivered via c-section?i would recommend an x-ray soft tissue neck for adenoids.If they are enlarged to the extend that they are causing difficulty in air passage through the larger airway,i should be removed by the time she is at 5 years of age.But mostly they regress by this age. I would advise some good anti-histamines like levo-cetrizine about 2.5 ml at night for a period of 3 months along with monteleukast sachet 4 mg at night for 3 months. I would like you to try some home remedies also like a teaspoon of honey in a glass of luke warm water once daily. Avoid giving her cold drinks,sour foods like vinegar and ketchup.Avoid candies and icecreams.
Hope it will help.
Wishing your child good health :-)
