Hello,
Coughing can be due to inflammation of the small airways or bronchitis. I suggest you to consult your pulmonologist for clinical assessment, investigations and thus management. Dizziness and vomiting can be due to indigestion or weakness. I suggest you to take rest and take light food for relief. If the vomiting and light headedness does not still resolve then you need to consult your physician.
