Hello
Welcome to Healthcare magic forum.
Your baby is most probably suffering from a respiratory infection causing chest congestion, wheezing and secondarily vomiting.
Wikoryl suspension can reduce cold symptoms like rhinitis and dry cough but if there is any bronchospasm and associated chest congestion that will not be releived.Also phenylephrine contained in wikoryl suspension is contraindicated for infants due to it's sideeffects.
Colimex df drops can relieve abdominal colic in infants but not vomiting .
So please do not selfmedicate such a young infant and as far as possible consult a pediatrician for evaluation of your child and appropriate management .sometimes antibiotics might be needed to prevent complications like pneumonia so do consult your doctor for the best relief.
Wish your child a speedy recovery.
Regards

Hi,
Welcome to HCM
First of all I would like to request not to do self medication to your baby as it may causes several unwanted effect to the baby.In three month child vomiting(actually positing) 3-4 times is a common incident and you need not worry for that if the child is otherwise normal.For positing you have to burp the baby after each feed.For your information You that colimex have no role in vomiting.In case of cough or any type of chest infections treatment should be taken as per doctor's advice as cough has so many causes.
Thanking you.
