My child has so much coughing that it makes him vomit, what else can we do?

Question

Good evening, my 9 year old boy has had a wet cough for 20 days, there was a lull, but for the last 3 days the cough is very intense... he has sometimes vomited secretions and the cough disturbs his sleep... He does not have a fever and his general condition is still good despite the strong cough.We do the sinus rinse several times a day, he drinks a lot of water, he takes lozenges, I put the humidifier, I raise the head of his bed, he takes steam baths, I tried the Helixia syrup, Vicks... currently I'm trying the creo-rectal suppository... Nasal congestion only

Hello ma'am, does your child have other symptoms such as sneezing several times at a time, runny nose, tingling nose, eyes or throat? Thank you for the information. You have done well with the measures listed, including nasal hygiene, humidifier and hydration. These are the first line measures, and I suggest continuing them, especially Sinus Rinse as often as needed during the day and at least 30 minutes before bedtime If the current situation persists for more than 7 days without improvement , a doctor should be consulted. In the meantime, I will remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely Tom Samaha, pharmacist
