What Causes Continuous Cough With A Tendency To Vomit?

My friends have all been sick lately.. They get a high fever and sleep a lot. My boyfriend can not stop coughing and its got to the point where he gags now. I'm worried. Maybe its nothing. But I have never seen anyone with the tendency to gag after they cough.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Vomiting due to coughing is seen with severe coughing.
So we should definitely rule out lung infection and bronchitis in his case.
So get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for major lung disease.
Tell him to drink plenty of fluids orally. Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
Tale levocetrizine twice daily after some food.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
