Keshav got a bug and is throwing up

We took Keshav to the Spring Hill Mall play area on Saturday. Although he played quite well there, he was mouthing and licking playground equipment in the mall play area. He must have gotten some kind of bug there. On Sunday after lunch he threw up his entire lunch. He was gagging in the car because he was not able to get the stuff out of his mouth.
Today Monday 12/20/2010 he threw up all his breakfast. He is feeling weak and he went to sleep for a nap in the afternoon. Also woke up after half an hour and threw up his milk. Poor Keshav. We cant seem to get to do anything right for him. I feel bad for him and for us.

The cough is gone.

November was tough for us. Keshav had antibiotic for his cough. The doctor prescribed Amoxycillin with Pottasium Clavulanate to Keshav for his cough. Keshav was able to take the antibiotic for three days, after which he started doing projectile vomitting. A few minutes after eating anything he would just hurl and throw up everything he ate.We then called the doctor and the doctor told us to contunue with the antibiotic. We however stopped the antibiotic after giving it to Keshav for 3 days. On the fifth day after the first dose of the antibiotic Keshav got rashes all over his body including his face. This was something called as an amoxylin rash. Keshav was allergic to Amoxycillin/Penicillin.
It was really hard on Keshav as he was itchy all over and wasnt able to sleep for 3-4 days. Eventually after a week the rashes subsided. We did give him some benadryl.

The good thing about the entire ordeal was that the Strong Antibiotic did take care of Keshav's cough. Keshav has no cough as of now and is able to sleep without any spells of cough in the middle of the night.

The cough still doesnt go away

I find myself helpless to help Keshav. The cough is persistant and still hasnt gone away. Every night its the same story of coughing and throwing up. Yesterday Keshav threw up all of his dinner and his face was covered in vomit. He also wakes up because of cough every night and is up for 2 hours before he goes back to sleep again.
Homeopathic remedy for the cough did not do anything. We had to take him to the doctor who put him on anti-biotic. He has been taking it for 2 days now. Today morning when he woke up he was giggling for no reason. Signs of Yeast aggravation from the antibiotic. He also has been throwing up since morning every time his mother would try and give him the antibiotic medicine.
God help us cure this child.
It should be noted that we have taken Keshav off from all kind of diets. He drinks regular milk now, goat's milk. GFCF diet or any other intervention did not do anything for Keshav. We have tried it for a year and i think we did more harm than good by depriving Keshav of milk for a year. No more diet restriction for our child.

The cough doesnt go away

Keshav has been coughing a lot in the nights during sleep. For the past one week he has been waking up in the night every single day coughing and even throwing up. The other day I did not realize that he had vomitted and he slept in his vomit for about an hour or so. It is sad to see him like this.
I gave him Pulstilla 200C but that didnt seem to help him at all. Yesterday we started giving him the Kali Bichrome 30C and today 10/21/2010, he has had a lot of mucus discharge from his nose. By a lot i mean copious amount of mucuos. Every minute, someone had to clean his nose.

Same story last night again 10/06/2010. Keshav went to sleep last night at 9PM. Woke up coughing really bad and making strange noise and threw up every bit of his dinner. It is heart breaking to see the kid soooo tired and throwing up and coughing without opening his eyes.
Note should be taken that I strongly feel that this has got nothing to do with his homeopathic clear this month. Everyone in the family is sick, including Rochelle who can hardly breathe. Rochelle was even crying from being sick.I am still sick and my throat still hurts. Today we took Keshav to the doctor to make sure that he hasnt got any infection of the throat or the ears. He doesnt have any infections and no fever. Just a bad series of cough which aggravates in the night accompanied by some runny nose.
Same story last night 10/05/2010. Keshav went to sleep at around 8:45PM and it wasnt hard to put him to sleep because he was tired. He woke up around 10:30 coughing and crying and it was hard for him to swallow and perhaps even breathe. We took him downstairs for an hour, gave him some water. He started to settle down and started playing. We took him to sleep again at around 12:00, and he started to cough again and this time he threw up. After that, the poor little boy was so tired,that he couldnt just keep his eyes open. Rochelle had to rock him and keep him upright for about an hour so that he could get some sleep.
Its been very hard for him for the last 3 nights waking up coughing and not getting enough sleep. I hope he recovers from his cough soon.

Keshav woke up last night again at 2:00PM, coughing. He then cried a lot, until we really woke him took him downstairs and gave him some milk. He drank his milk and went to sleep after waking up for a full 1.5 hrs during which he also watched his video. The cough seems to get worse in the night when he is sleeping. He does not have any fever though.
On Sunday 10/03/2010 I gave him the thing that i gave him in december of 2009.
