Brief Answer:
try ondansetron for vomiting

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Cold and.cough is usually viral at this age

It might take a few more days to get better.
I usually prescribe ondansetron syrup around 3 ml thrice daily for such patients for vomiting.
However if cold and cough doesn't get better you need to consult with your pediatrician again for ruling out chest throat or ear infection.
Wishing your child good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
