Brief answer :
Probably need nebulisation and cough syrup.
Detailed answer :
Since, your child is on antibiotic, paracetamol and cetrizine for 2 days, still he is having so much cough that he also vomited, the child will need a cough syrup like chericof instead of cetrizine and probably the child has developed wheezing so you have to get his chest examined once again so that we can know whether its a wheezing episode or not.
I hope this will help you. Take care.
