Your child needs-: -to see your pediatrician. Be sure you check if child is up to date on all immunizations. Many kids with respiratory distress wheeze & cough until they vomit. This increased intra thoracic & intra abdominal pressure clears any mucus plugs in the chest & they feel better for a while.
