What Causes Coughing And Vomiting After Having Breakfast?

Could be a cough variant wheeze
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. Greetings from XXXXXXX
By what you quote I feel what your kid could be having viral associated wheeze or multi triggered wheeze. I have a few questions for you -
Questions:
1. How many days per month does he cough or feel breathless?
2. How many nights per month does his sleep get disturbed due to above symptoms?
3. Does he feel breathless when she runs around or plays with other kids?
4. Are the symptoms when there are seasonal changes?
5. Is there any family history of asthma or any other sort of allergies like skin allergy etc.?
6. Is the cough always associated with fever?
If your answer is yes for any of the above questions, your kid might be having viral associated wheezing or multi triggered wheezing and I suggest you meet a paediatric pulmonologist who is near your place.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. Wish your kid good health.

Could be GER - therapeutic trial is worthwhile
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thanks for your answers. You have made it clear. With the history your gave about your kid and the detailed answers to my questions, I now think that all this could be due to gastroesophageal reflux (GER) which can aggravate or cause this type of throat irritation and cough. This GER can get aggravated with the snacks due to artificial additives and oil or some chemicals (to make them tastier) in them.
In GER, the acid in the stomach travels up the food pipe (esophagus) and irritates the back of the throat and it will in turn cause severe cough followed by vomiting.
The best way to find out is to give a therapeutic trial of anti reflux medications with drugs like Omeprazole and Domstal for 8 weeks and see for the response. If the cough gets better in a week or two then the diagnosis is almost confirmed. No need for any further tests.
But one significant positive aspect for this being an allergic phenomenon is that there is a family history of dust allergy. This too can cause cough and that in turn will cause cough induced vomiting.
With this - I suggest you get back to your paediatrician with these tips and get the treatment for GER as suggested.
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below.

Suggestions on Montair and treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi...Thanks for you trust in me.
Coming to your queries -
1. Montair is Monteleukast - a drug which will help controlling allergic symptoms on the long turn. This won't have immediate effect, but on using long term like 6-8 weeks the allergic symptoms will get reduced. Usually it doesn't have any side effects - the rare ones are anxiety and rash.
2. These can be taken for 8 weeks and if not much improvement can be discontinued.
3. Lanzol is the same as I suggested (like Omeprazole), but digestive enzymes have no role in treatment (no scientific basis).
4. I suggest you discontinue digestive enzymes and go ahead and start Domstal after consulting your treating doctor.
5. I am extremely sorry - By rule - we should not be giving phone number or mail ID to the clients. You can approach me through this link I am giving below - any number of times. I would be glad to help please.
