A member asked:
Antibiotics have cleared up a throat infection. however i still have a cough that makes me gag/throw up and leaves me gasping for air?

Asthma: It sounds like you may have a post infectious asthma type cough which may take weeks to months to resolve. You may benefit from an inhaled steroid and bronchodilator. You may also have a bacterial sinus infection which can cause the same type symptoms. It is time to see your doctor.
