I have a 2 1/2 year old who always seems to cough in the middle of the night and throw up what she ate before sleeping or would eat a meal and after she has had orange juice she would cough badly and throw up right after as well. she also is having a bit of a wheezing on the lower left side on her lungs. what can this be?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
If she is wheezing then the night time cough may be due to asthma. Asthma is one of the causes for nocturnal coughing.
She should be assessed to see if this is the likely cause. If this is found then the proper use of inhalers would help her.
The other causes are persistent coughing would be post nasal drip and GERD.
I hope this helps
