Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough And Vomiting

I have an eighty two year old brother who has coughing and vomiting spells. He has had this condition for several years. It is accompanied with loss of appetite. He has not been able to get much help from medical sources. He has lost weight, and is much more passive than he used to be. I wonder what kind of medical doctor he should consult with. He tends to blame it on his own impulse to vomit easily and his primary care doctor hasn t been able to help him. Do you have some suggestions? Stan

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Severe coughing spell can cause Vomiting.

So in my opinion you should first get treatment for the cough, once you treated for the cough you will be free from the vomiting.

The cause of the cough should be first known and treated e.g. for the allergic cough anti allergic medication should be taken, for ashthmatic cough anti asthma medication should be taken.

You can take the codeine and domperidone. This will cure both cough and vomiting.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
