Suggest Remedy For Severe Cold And Coughing Spells Leading To Vomiting

I started off with a bad cold about a month ago. I seemed to get better about a week or so after I first initially started to feel ill. After a few days it came back and was worse than before. Now 4 weeks later, the only symptom I still have is the severe coughing spells that will sometimes lead to vomiting.

Hi there,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.

I understand your situation.Your symptom might also accompany a runny or stuffy nose,a feeling of liquid running down the back of your throat,frequent throat clearing and sore throat,hoarseness,wheezing and shortness of breath.

You might be having allergic rhinits or Gastroesophageal reflux disease.Try taking tablet containing monteleukast + levocetirizine,cough suppressant syrup before bed at night and pantoprazole 40mg empty stomach in the morning.If your cough doesnot subside by this you should see a doctor and get a chest xray done to get a confirmed diagnosis.

In the meantime stop smoking,avoid allergens and reduce acid reflux.This includes eating smaller, more frequent meals; waiting three to four hours after a meal before lying down; and elevating the head of the bed at night.

Hope this helps you.Take care.
