If your baby is coughing and vomiting mucus, it might be due to asthma or a food allergy. Consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Explanation

When a baby is coughing and vomiting mucus, it could be a sign of asthma or a food allergy. Asthma can sometimes cause vomiting as a main symptom, especially during an acute attack. This is because the coughing and difficulty in breathing can lead to vomiting.

Food allergies can also cause respiratory problems such as coughing. If your baby has a food allergy, it might lead to symptoms like coughing and mucus production.

It is important to consult a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and get the right treatment. They can help figure out if it’s asthma, a food allergy, or something else.

In the meantime, ensure your baby is comfortable and monitor their symptoms closely. If symptoms worsen or new symptoms appear, seek medical attention promptly.
