Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Lei
Bad breath, coughing, and vomiting in children may be caused by a respiratory tract infection or gastrointestinal discomfort due to weak digestive function. It is recommended that the child drink plenty of warm water and follow a light, easily digestible diet—eating smaller portions more frequently—to help alleviate vomiting. Additionally, coughing can have multiple underlying causes; therefore, prompt medical evaluation at a hospital is advised.
