Cough causing sick
My little boy seems to always have some kind of cough since starting nursery. Sometimes it gets better and then he gets sniffly again and it worsens.
It sounds like he has a lot of phlegm on his chest.
He was sick at 5.30am and 6.30am on Thursday morning, both times it was after he had been coughing. He threw up some water shortly after but then was absolutely fine for the rest of the day and eating as normal. Friday he was ok, just one loose poo. Saturday totally normal in eating and no poo or sick. Then this morning he was sick again at 5am after coughing, and then a loose poo a few hours later.
It doesn’t feel like your standard viral sickness bug as it wasn’t much sick at all and then he was fine for a few days! I’m wondering if it’s the cough and phlegm contributing
Has anyone else experience something like this? I’m taking him to the doctors this week but wondering if anyone has any idea in the meantime?

Yes my little girl does it quite a lot with a cough! She’s the same been constantly ill since starting nursery. Yesterday when she was a bit sick after coughing it was all phlegm 😭 I think my little girl has quite a low gag reflex too which doesn’t help when she’s got a lot of mucus!
I’ve got a calpol plug in and put a couple of books under her cot and she’s slept quite well considering but there’s not a huge amount you can do unfortunately 😢 x
