What is the disease of dry cough and retching

Children are likely to have many abnormal problems due to various factors. One thing that babies often encounter is the problem of dry heaving after drinking milk, or dry coughing after eating. Does this mean that there is something wrong with the babies’ health? What is the reason for this situation? Is this the only way to effectively alleviate the problem? Let’s explain it today.

Reason 1 for baby vomiting: feeding problem

In the first few months of your baby's life, vomiting is most likely due to a less serious feeding problem, such as overfeeding, indigestion, or an allergy to protein in breast milk or formula. To determine whether your baby is vomiting or spitting up (which is also common), just remember that when a baby spits up, only a few spoonfuls of milk will flow down his chin, while when a baby vomits, much more liquid will be spitted out. At the same time, the baby may be frightened by his own vomiting and may cry.

Cause 2 of baby vomiting: gastroesophageal reflux

If your baby is otherwise healthy but vomits soon after eating or for no apparent reason, gastroesophageal reflux is most likely to be the cause. Gastroesophageal reflux occurs when the muscles between the baby's esophagus and stomach do not function properly, causing food in the stomach to flow back up into the throat. Although your baby won't talk about it, he may feel abdominal discomfort or a burning or discomfort in the throat or chest. This problem will most likely disappear automatically by the time the baby is one year old, because the muscles in the baby's gastroesophageal area will have developed stronger and more powerful by then.

It can be seen from this that if the baby has symptoms of vomiting, you should appropriately reduce the amount of milk you feed the baby when feeding him/her, and do not let the baby vomit due to overeating or indigestion. If these reasons are ruled out and vomiting symptoms still exist, you should take your child to see a doctor in time.

Poor gastrointestinal function. Cough with phlegm (including acute tracheitis, bronchitis, and childhood tracheitis): 2 taels of white radish and 2 taels of duck pear, chop them together, add a bowl of water, cook them, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and eat, twice a day for 3 consecutive days. Clears heat and resolves phlegm. Long-term cough (cough caused by emphysema and bronchitis, etc.): Grind one or two ounces of alum into powder and mix it with vinegar to make a paste. Before going to bed every night, take a paste the size of a soybean and apply it to the soles of the feet (Yongquan acupoint, apply to both feet), wrap it with cloth and remove it the next morning. Use it for 7 consecutive days for special effects. The above two methods can be used at the same time. Dry cough (caused by cold or other reasons): 3 cents (about one tablespoon) of raw black sesame seeds, appropriate amount of rock sugar, crush them together and drink with boiled water on an empty stomach in the morning. Eat less fish.
