My two yr old had a fever for the last three days. He also had a little cough but did gag and throw up a little a few times and had a little congestion. Tonight his cough has turned to a very wet one with him gagging badly. He s much better when I sit him on my lap to sleep. His breathing isn t labored and he doesn t have a fever. Should I take him to the hospital?
Hi, thank you for posting. I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns. The symptoms of your child are caused by bronchitis. Bronchitis is caused by a virus. You should give him a lot of fluids and vitamins by fruits and vegetables. If he has fever again you can give him Acetaminophen. Bed rest can also help. To confirm the diagnosis a physical examination by a pediatrician and a complete blood count are necessary. The treatment of this condition contains antibiotics, cough medicine and vitamin therapy. All the best.
