Pediatrician,  's  Response
Your child is suffering from a respiratory tract infection which is likely to be caused by a virus. As he is trying to cough out the thick mucus, the gag is triggering a vomiting but not otherwise. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antiallergic which relieves the allergic component of such infections and should be given for a few days to relieve the khitch khitch. Give him steam inhalation or nebulisation if possible. The water in the form of vapour or fine particles will reach deep into the lungs and help in diluting the cough and give him relief. Asthalin contains Salbutamol which is a bronchodilator and needs to be given if the child has wheezing. It can best be delivered by nebulisation but syrup is another alternative.
