Our 6 month old (corrected age 4.5months) suddenly won t let us put him down to sleep as he cries and cries and then vomits. He has lots of mucus in his nose and had a dry cough for the past few days. He is usually a very smiley baby so this angry crying is very strange. Is it an ear infection with a cold? His temperature is 38.5. We have given nurofen for babies 2.5ml but I think he vomited it up 40 minutes later when he was crying.
HIIT seems your baby has gastroesophageal regurgitation/ blocked nose. He is uncomfortable because acidic stomach content comes up and irritates him. Measures which you can take are1.

When putting down to sleep keep in semi reclined bassinet or keep reclined with in strict observation .4.

Clear nose with nasal saline Chat Doctor. 6. keep room humidified with humidifier or hot water bowl. Best wishes
