Dear adp2504 I am sorry to hear about your child. I think he has definitely got chest infection. As you mention
the baby vomited out all medications he better should be sent to hospital. Apart from chest X-ray blood tests
for infection and hydration baby may need to have fluid by i.v. so also antibiotics as well. Kindest regards Dr.S.K.Mukherjee
