I understand your concern. It is possible that acid reflux, called GERD in which gastric acid regurgitates into esophagus is the cause of cough relieved with vomiting Unless there is no fever and cough with sounds of mucus / phlegm. I would do a CBC and evaluate chest for infection. Your doctor would have done this and started on a drug Junior Lanzol to reduce the gastric acid irritation. YOu can discuss with your doctor and come back to me for any further doubts. Regards .
