A member asked:
My child has a cough, gave him delsym before bed. just woke up and vomited and then went back to bed. could he had coughed so hard and made that happen? could he have mucus drainage? also saw his pasta in his vomit. is that normal? 3hrs after dinner?

Vomiting and coughing use some of the same muscles. Young children can cough hard enough to trigger vomiting & that will empty whatever is in the stomach. By the time they reach 8-10 coughing rarely would do that as they have more control over the muscle groups.
