What Causes Cold,congestion And Cough?

Cold, congestion and cough which sometimes leads to vomiting. She's been sick with a cold (no fever) since end of Sept. She started daycare in August. Recently she won't take her bottles, sometimes only 2-3 ounces per feeding, but does ok with her cereal and fruits and veggies (until she vomits them up). Otherwise she seems happy. Coughing fits mostly at night.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi...recurrent cough,cold can occur due to infection. as the child has started going to daycare she may be more exposed to infections and allergens along with contact with other children. You should continue with symptomatic treatment such as paracetamol for fever and cough relieving medication. Also see to it that the child takes healthy diet. Please mention the age so that feeding advice can be given
