What Causes Severe Cough And Vomiting?

My husband had a horrible coughing fit yesterday while taking a shower and also vomited. Today he felt a tickle in his ear and then used a q-tip around the edges and a bit inside. There was blood on the q-tip and now the ear has been oozing blood off and on. Could the coughing / vomiting fit cause the bleeding in the ear?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Yes, its the cough which is causing a bleeding from the ear.

I advice you to search for the cause of cough. There are numerous reason for the cough exact etiology can only be known after the exact examination. So I advice you to visit the nearby doctor and get your examination done.

Till that time I advice you to take the codeine under doctors guidance. It is the anti cough drug. And prevent further bleeding from the ear.

I also advice your husband to take the deep breath while having cough it helps release the pressure from the ear and prevents ear drum rupture.

Please advice your husband to start doing exercise. Exercise makes one a competent and strong.


I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
