Don't Have A Fit!!!: Then I'd go to a Bergman movie.Or read your parents tax returns.Guaranteed to halt the laughing.You've got a very sensitive "cough reflex" that can set you into fits of coughing instead of fits of laughter.Breathing steam from a teapot helps(not too close!)Sometimes sore throat numbing sprays help for some reason (but don't inhale it, Mr Clinton!). Then OTC cough medications--beyond that:your doc

Usually laughing: improves the immune system by stimulating the diaphragmatic breathing, which helps squeeze the lymph nodes under the dome of the diaphragm. Hmm. Make sure that you are watching your diet during this time. No alcohol, smoking, refined sugars, processed foods, sodas, GMO wheat, pasta, dairy, soy, corn should be avoded as dairy and sweet can increase phlegm.Increase jydration, use a neti pot too.

Cough: Possible you have cough asthma which would be worse after you laugh or sing or speak a lot. See your doctor to listen to your lungs and do breathing tests
