What Causes Coughing And Vomiting?
My son has the cold. He got up coughing so I gave him pedia care cold and allergy. A few minutes later he was still coughing. I encouraged him to drink water. I made him some chamomile tea and soon afterwards he vomited due to the coughing. He seems better and stop coughing. I evelated his head with pillows and he sleeping. I hope he okay. Should I watch him further for another hour?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common cough of acute cough is viral upper respiratory tract infection
( common cold). The coughing occurs due to post nasal drip of secretions and also due to irritation and inflammation of the airways.
By elevating him you would help to decrease the backward drip of secretions and should decrease the coughing.
He should be ok.
It can take 1 to 2 weeks to recover completely.
I hope this helps
