Base on your experience, if lo 7 month old , sick with vomiting and flu and cough, how long then will recover? My lo sick for 3 days already and I had gone to KKH for two times but it seem that the doctor just said the same thing that my lo is fine but need to take medication

Other than taking medication, I will ensure that the home environment is well ventilated and cleaned properly. Young child's immune system is lower as they have not gotten the full vaccinations. Clean environment helps to expedite recovery. Clean the toys more often as germs might be lingering there too. Do apply some baby vicks on lo's chest and back, soles covered with socks. Vommiting might be because lo has phlegm and too young to cough out so the easiest is to vomit and it makes them feel better as phlegm comes out when they vomit. Flu and cough normally come hand in hand so take medication as instructed. I will monitor for 1 week or so to see there are any improvements. I will be careful to hear whether lo is wheezing as it might lead to other complications like asthma if not careful. So keep warm.
