2 Year Old Vomiting When She Goes To Sleep

by Geeta
(Karnataka, India)

Within 10 to 15 minutes of her going to sleep, she gets a cough and then she throws up completely. She had cold and cough a month back which was cured after two weeks but the cough did not stop completely. Entire day she will not cough even once but as soon she goes to sleep in the noon or at night, she first gets a cough and uncontrollably she vomits. I tried making her sleep on her sides avoiding laying her flat on her back, I also give her food about one or two hours prior to her sleep so that she does not throw up. But all this has not helped. She throws up so forcibly that food particles come through her nose and she gets stuff nose and becomes exhausted. Her tummy is always blown up little, from birth itself. Off late she is complaining of stomach pain immediately after food. Even if I just give her cow's milk and not solid food, then too she will have this cough and vomiting problem once she goes to sleep. I am fed up with this problem and need some urgent help. At least to know the root cause and the treatment available for this. My regular docs said it is due to the cold and phlegm that she has, but my question is why only when she just goes to sleep and why not other times? Please help and guide me asap.
