Hi,

It looks like your child has an upper respiratory infection, probably viral. Most of the children can have vomiting post cough (post-tussive vomiting we say). It is because of increased abdominal pressure during cough, that can cause vomiting.

If there is any blood-tinged vomiting or green or yellow coloured vomiting, then we should be worried.

For upper respiratory tract infection, symptomatic treatment with decongestants will help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirubhan Bharathy, Pediatrician
