Im coughing to the point where im gagging what should i do?

Seek care: Cough is a normal reflex to clear the lower airway. However, if cough continues beyond 6-8 weeks or is associated with other symptoms, an uation is necessary. Gagging or vomiting after severe coughing can be seen in asthma and whooping cough (pertussis). Stomach acid reflux can trigger coughing and have associated gagging. A cough specialist such as a pulmonologist or allergist can help.
