Suggest Treatment For Severe Coughing In An Infant

HI I have a 9month old son he s had a bad cough for 2weeks plus I took him to the doctors 2 weeks ago they said his chest was clear however I went back on friday due to him starting to throw back food and they issued him with amoxycillin due to having a noisy chest on one side. I have fed him toast today but isn t interested really in eating but its hard trying to get fluids into him so tried him with soup tonight, he ate it then immediately afterwards threw up he has done this the past 3 nights. Is there anything I can give him which will help him get over this??? Or what foods are good for him to try keep his strength up?? He also has a small hard lump on his chest bone which looks like a bruise could this be due to his coughing or could it be he s been trying to crawl continously??

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear parent,
It seems your child is suffering from respiratory infection. He is unable to eat because of mucus he is ingesting. He cannot spit. This mucus is sticky so it doesn't pass ahead in intestine, because of small luman. And then child vomits out. Try feeding him after he is relieved. Give him soup, milk, fruit, rice or whit ever he is interested in eating right now. Keep nebulising him with plain water. He may pass frequent sticky motions as well.
Keep in touch with the prescribing doctor for infection part.
