Couching in a day 5 to 6 times

2024-01-19 04:16:32
My 9-year-old son occasionally experiences a strong cough, often followed by burping, similar to when he eats something sweet. The cough usually happens once, but it's intense, and sometimes he brings up phlegm or vomits. The cough persists for an extended period. What steps can be taken to address this?

Get chest xray done and let me know. Try saline gargles and steam inhalation. If bouts of cough present, take cough syrup- syrup piriton-cs 5 ml twice daily

Monitor his diet for potential triggers like reflux-inducing foods. Ensure he stays hydrated, and consider smaller, more frequent meals. If symptoms persist, consult with a pediatrician to rule out underlying issues. Keeping a cough diary can help identify patterns for more accurate assessment.
