6 month old son has been vomiting, with a blocked nose, diarrhea , very whingy My 6 month old son has been vomiting, with a blocked nose, diarrhea, very whingy at certain times but mostly happy. He also has a rash around his mouth which I was told was from dribble and would clear up but is still there and not fading. This has been going on for about a week, very snuffly breathing as well and suggestions? Hes also just had his 6 month immunisation about 6 days ago if that helps

hello
looks the your son has an upper respiratory tract infection with a gi infection. children do not spit out the sputum. they rather swallow the sputum. so they some times have vomiting due to thick sputum. i would advise you to take him to a pediatrician to rule our lower respiratory tract infection.
at home i would advise you to maintain giving him adequate food and water. if you feel he looks dehydrated give him oral rehydration solution every half an hour.
usually immunisation is safe. and the chances of a respiratory infection dude to immunisation is rare. some times babies have fever due to dpt vaccine given.
if you feel the symptoms are not subsiding then consult your pediatrician.
wish your son a speedy recovery. take care
