Suggest Remedy For Profuse Cough With High Temperature In Infants

My 11 months baby girl has been having cough since 2 days ago, and just yesterday midnight, she started vomiting everything she swallows. I went to a pediatrician, and some syrups, with a ZITHROMAX oral suspension was administered to her, she vomited some of them, and after a cold bath, had a peaceful sleep, untill now. She is coughing profusely, her body temperature is high and she s too weak to even breast feed. Please what can i do now?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear parent,
Cam u give some more history on the type of cough?Is it productive or dry cough? Cough and fever can be of viral or bacterial etiology.As the pediatrician suggested u can continue zithromycin.since the child is vomiting u can do one thing.Give her some antiemetic and wait for half hour and then give her zithromycin mixed with some sugar syrup.This might prevent her from vomiting.
U can give her paracetamol for fever and salbutamol for cough.
