I kept telling the doc he said nothing was wrong... there where a few other things like still having a running nose and cough and vomiting but anyways...Well finally 4 days ago he starts spitting up and vomiting with every feeding I called the doc and demanded a apt. We ended up seeing another doctor at the practice I tell him everything that has been going on down to his bowl movements...

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of cough and diarrhea in an infant which seems to be due to disturbance of electrolytic balance of body. It could occur due to many reasons such as food intolerance , food allergy , bacterial or viral infection , parasitic infection or inflammatory bowel disease. Need not to worry. You should take cough syrup along with this do warm saline gargles on daily basis.Take oral rehydrating solution as well. You should take small and frequent meals rather than large meals at a time. You should avoid taking cold carbonated beverages. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like ornidazole , albendazole , omeprazole along with loperamide. You should eat light and non spicy , eat fresh fruits and vegetables and eat fruits like banana.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
