Hi,
Thank you for your query on HealthCareMagic.
By the description provided by you it is advisable to hospitalize the baby for further management. Cough persisting for more than a month with fever and vomiting is suggestive of pneumonia which shall require investigations and intravenous antibiotics.
I hope this response is helpful to you.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery......
Regards,
RKK
