Suggest medication for cough and nausea
Patient: My son developed a chesty cough and last night he threw up while i was feeding him chicken noodle soup. That was the only time he threw up. He also has a runny nose, but no fever. Could he have a stomach virus or just a bad cough that upset his stomach to puke? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. No, nausea is not due to stomach viral infection. Bad cold due to viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is the cause for his cough and nausea.So asking him to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 2. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.3. Take levocetrizine and paracetamol combination twice daily.4. Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.Don't worry, he will be alright with all these in 1 week.Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your son. Thanks.
