A member asked:

My daughter is 4 years old and has a cough every time she coughs she starts vomiting does she need a antibiotic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Kids often have some difficulty sorting the action of a deep cough with vomiting.Both actions involve some similar muscles & kids are less able to suppress vomiting if a deep cough triggers it. Only an exam & DX of a treatable cause requires abx.
