What Causes Burning Cough After Drinking Alcohol?

I drank and smoked too much Saturday night. Felt like shit Sunday (I work nights) but figured I was just recovering. Monday I m puking and sweating and have a deep cough. My lungs burn when I cough. Today, Tuesday, I feel better. Still, deep burning cough, but i;m no longer vomiting. Any suggestions?

HI,

Alcohol and Smoking both can cause Gastritis and Reflux of your gastric acid into upper digestive tract and larynx...this causes burning sensation in epigastric region, vomiting and cough.... i suggest you to take tab.pantoprazole 40mg once daily in empty stomach for atleast 7 days... nothing to worry...
