Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
It is common in children to have swollen throat and blocked nose as a reaction to the stomach contents of the vomitus which may be acidic.
I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Give him sips of cold water.
Reassure him a lot and ask him to breath quietly along with you insisting this is just possible.
Instill decongestants nasal drops.
Consult a Doctor for clinical evaluation and any additional medications if at all needed.
It may be needed to give antacids and PPI or Ranitidine.
