Hi Soma
I have a nine year old daughter who last November started out with a cold that developed into a Wind-Heat, I put her on some pediatric herbs for the wind-heat. In a couple of days she developed a very nasty cough
Her main symptoms was a phlemgy loud cough and then inhaling was very stressed, trying to gasp for air.
She would also vomit.
At night it got really bad, and she woke up many times through the night gasping for air, only to have to cough and then vomit.
At first she vomited yellow phlegm, but after two weeks of this there was no phlegm, but the cough still remained and she would still cough and gasp for air and this would still cause her to vomit.
It is now February and she still has a cough, but with no phlegm or vomiting.
Her 6 year old brother now has the cough, he is in the coughing and vomiting stage with no more yellow phlegm, he will just cough and then vomit and spit a little phlegm (not yellow anymore). I tried pediatric herbs for cough but again he is on his fourth week, and wakes up many times through the night gasping for air and then coughing, with or with out vomiting.
Any suggestions. The doctors checked my daughter out for whooping cough, it was negative. One doctor said it was just a virus and it will take time, the other doctor said early on that it was bronchitis.
He has had to sleep with me for four weeks at this point so I can help him sit up and breath.
Thank you
