The most likely reason for vomiting should be the taste of the medicine. Antibiotics and cough syrups can be given after food. A better brand of medicine can be tried which is more palatable and also concentrated medicines are sometimes helpful. This will reduce the quantity needed to be given. Chances of vomiting this minimum
