Suggest Treatment For Constant Cough At Night

my 6 yr old son has constant cough at night, which we believe is triggered because of acute gas/acid formation in stomach. Cough subsides after constant rubbing of back to get burps. He vomits sometimes which gives him relief from the cough. Which speacialist should i consult for treatment?

Hi.... nocturnal cough is usually suggestive of wheezing. At this is this age could be a starting stage of asthma. I suggest you consult paediatric pulmonologist regarding this.
