Does rsv cause vomiting?
My baby has RSV, and along with the cough, she's also throwing up after feeds. I'm wondering if the vomiting is also because of RSV, or if it's something else entirely.

Oh absolutely, RSV can turn your little one into a mini vomiting machine! It's usually because they swallow so much mucus from all the coughing. Just keep a pile of extra clothes ready and don't panic.
Yes, it is very common for kids to throw up because of the thick phlegm and coughing. Giving ORS in small spoon sips helps a lot.
Yes, vomiting is quite common with RSV, especially after severe coughing fits. I always log these episodes in my baby's health tracker app so I can show the exact pattern to our doctor. Keep them hydrated!
When my child had RSV and was vomiting, I stopped giving heavy meals or milk. Instead, I gave light, warm vegetable broths and diluted apple juice in very small quantities. Proper light nutrition is key during recovery.
My grandmother told me to give some ginger juice, but I preferred consulting our pediatrician. The doctor explained that coughing up phlegm often causes vomiting in babies with RSV. We just followed her advice and focused on hydration.
Don't worry too much, vomiting often happens because the intense coughing triggers their gag reflex. Just keep them in an upright position and give them small sips of water. If they can't keep any liquids down, go to the doctor.
My 2-year-old threw up several times when he caught RSV. It was mostly just clear mucus that they swallow when congested. It's very normal but very messy, just focus on keeping their nose clear with saline drops.
