my baby is 7months old coughing badly he just threw up white doughy like puke.what could it be?
Dear Libya, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Babies around this age are prone frequently to colds and coughs so, not to worry so much about the puking as it is the bodies reflex to bring out unwanted material. As adults, we can easily bring out the phlegm accumulated in our lungs, but babies tend to swallow and his body is naturally reacting by throwing out the phlegm which is a good sign. I advise you to kindly meet your pediatrician and take the medication he prescribes also it's better if you let your baby take smaller meals in shorter intervals than give him a large meal at a time which might further cause him discomfort, wishing your baby quick recovery and good health.
