Hello
Such type of symptoms in a new born 22 months baby may be due to asthmatic allergic bronchitis . Usually due to some allergen there develop bronchoconstriction .
This bronchoconstriction produces whistling sound ( wheezing ) and if there is secondary infection ( super added ) there produces mucus also .
This mucus when impact in throat patient develop vomiting ( throw up ) .
When such patient visit I advise my patient to take montelukast+bambuterol syrup ( 0.2 mg / kg body weight each ) ,once in day .
Patient will get relief within a short period.
Hot coffee also act as bronchodilator.
Also give a combination of ambroxol+chlorapheniramine syrup.
Since all these are prescription drugs so please take a prescription.
