Vomiting from coughing so hard

Did your kids do the whole vomiting if they cough too hard thing?? My 4yo been sick and the past 3 nights she's been vomiting at least 4x from coughing. Tonight it's been going on since 9 and she's finally just asleep 😭 doc says it's viral and just wait it out. I've tried humidifier, nasal spray, elevated sleeping, even a bit of allergy meds. Nothing is working! Help!!!

Call and ask your pediatrician to send a script for a Zpac.

Girl do not let them play in your face. Yes it could be viral but her throwing up like that could cause dehydration so call your pediatricians nurse line to ask for advice. They might want you to bring her back in. My girl was sick two months. Sending you love mama 💞

Yeah that sounds like RSV. As horrible as it sounds you really do have to wait it out. Definitely do not give allergy meds cuz that could make things worse. Plus it isn’t treating the root cause. My toddler had RSV when she was 10 months old. We spent a whole night in the ER, only for them to tell us there isn’t much they can do. Which is true. Just hydrate, humidifier, drain the nasal cavities often with some saline solution. That’s it. It’s shitty, especially as a mom and our mom guilt. It will pass though. Apparently RSV isn’t really treatable at any stage. They just have a vaccine to help lower your chances of getting it. And it’s only for older adults (60+) as it can be deadly to them.

This was happening so much with my son it was becoming more of a serious problem and to consistent. so then we got him checked for asthma and using his inhaler and a nebulizer when needed is the only thing that worked. I tried every medicine everything you can think of
