Hello Such type of symptoms in a newborn 22 months baby may be due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis. Usually due to some allergen there develop bronchoconstriction. This bronchoconstriction produces whistling sound (wheezing) and if there is secondary infection (super added) there produces mucus also. This mucus when impact in throat patient develop vomiting (throw up) . When such patient visit I advise my patient to take montelukast+albuterol syrup (0.2 mg / kg body weight each) , once in day. Patient will get relief within a short period. Hot coffee also act as bronchodilator. Also give a combination of aerosol+chlorapheniramine syrup. Since all these are prescription Chat Doctor.
