What Causes Vomiting While Suffering From Cough?
HI since he was little my son has had vomiting every time he has a cough. This only hits at night time however. He is turning 4 shortly and is still happening. I have gave him piriton syrup the past 2 nights and he hasn t coughed once. I understand a cough has to run its course but surely at 4 he shouldn t be being sick with it?

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Your son can have bronchitis like upper respiratory tract infection and it can lead vomiting secondary to it
It could be viral flu or allergic inflammation
Work up should be done with Auscultation and CBC if needed
Symptomatic management needs to be done
You are taking antihistamine syrup for allergic cough
If vomiting more than ondensteron syrup can be Prescribed
If symptoms worsen than x ray like investigation needed
Take care
Consult pediatrician (if age less than 14)or physician for examination
