Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi,My son is 20 months old.He is suffering from cough in irregular intervals i.e atleast once in day he will get cough and if he vomit he will be fine..I have shown him to the pediatrician and he suggested Junior lanzol..can I know what is the reason for his cough
I understand your concern. It is possible that acid reflux, called GERD in which gastric acid regurgitates into esophagus is the cause of cough relieved with vomiting Unless there is no fever and cough with sounds of mucus / phlegm. I would do a CBC and evaluate chest for infection. Your doctor would have done this and started on a drug Junior Lanzol to reduce the gastric acid irritation. YOu can discuss with your doctor and come back to me for any further doubts. Regards .
