Question 4

why do i throw up when i cough?

Accepted Answer

Reflex: Coughing increases your intra abdominal pressure, decreases the pressure in the chest when you breath in. Sometimes this induces reflux acid to come up into the esophagus.  You may induce a gag reflex like this or from thick mucus.
That types of spasms can be a part of a particular illness called pertussis that you could get checked for.

Question 5

my father has had a chronic cough for over four years. what could be the cause? he often times throws up after a coughing episode.

Accepted Answer

Smoker?: There are a number of common things that cause a chronic cough. Post nasal drip from allergies is one, asthma is another, reflux disease, and emphysema or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Throwing up after a coughing episode is called post-tussive emesis. That is pretty normal.

Question 6

cough till i throw up, barely eat or sleep because i cough to much. nothing helps the cough. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Whooping cough: Post passive vomiting with a severe persistent cough makes me think of pertussis, or whooping cough.  This is treatable, if it is not pertussis, you are still not sleeping and sound like you need some relief.  Get evaluated and see if there is something treatable.  Good luck!

Asthma: Rsv can trigger asthma, let your baby be evaluated by a pulmonologist.

Question 8

i just swallowed a hair rubber band and i'm really scared. i also unsuccessfully tried to cough and throw it up. am i going to be okay?

Accepted Answer

You will be fine: Take a deep breath and relax. If all you swallowed was a rubber band then your body will just pass it right through. Just think of it as a big piece of calamari.

Question 9

i've been coughing for 3 weeks now and whenever i lay down or cough a lot i throw up green stuff. is it just because i'm coughing to much i throw up?

Accepted Answer

Post-tussive emesis: What you are describing is called post-tussive emesis (=after coughing vomiting). It is a common phenomenon where you cough so much you trigger your gag reflex which then causes you to throw up. If you have vomiting when you lie down, most likely you are having some intense post-nasal drip running down your throat causing you to vomit. I would see a doc if things aren't getting better for you.

Question 10

my two month has a a cough.. hes drinking his formula fine. normal throw ups. no fever and not hot to the touch. what can i do to ease this cough away?

Accepted Answer

Cough: Elevate his head and keep the room he is in cool and not too dry. Use gentle saline for any secretions that require suctioning. If he develops problems breathing or is not feeding well, have him seen. All the best.
