A member asked:

My five year old started throwing up. she coughed and then threw up. this happened twice in the last half hour. she has no fever, nor a cold.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overlap of reflexes: There is an overlap between the mechanisms for the reflexes of cough and vomiting, so that in children coughing may trigger also throwing up. If this happens more than occasionally, see a pediatrician
