A member asked:

Wet cough (to the point of puking.) ,runny nose, rosie cheeks. causes? i looked online and i wanted to be sure that if i went to the hospital that it was something serious. the hospital in my town doesn't really do much for kids?

Puking with a cough is common in younger kids as the muscles involved in both overlap & their nervous system has not separated the functions completely. If the kid feeds okay/plays some & is otherwise stable, you can monitor this at home. It is likely viral & will self-heal. If the kids' feeds are poor and it acts lethargic, or otherwise spooks you go in.

A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Pneumonia may often present this way. Watch for signs of shortness of breath and fever. Keep her well hydrated and nasal saline spray is often effective in reducing the signs of post nasal drip and cough.
