To think it's not normal for my 5yo to be sick when she has a cough?

[coffeepleeease]

Every time my 5yo gets a cough/cold she vomits with it. Either from the coughing itself or from the congestion. She was sick 5 times last night every time she had a big coughing fit. She wants to eat but then keeps bringing everything back up, it's like this with every cough/cold. I thought she would have grown out of it by now!

Yep, he announced 'Can you wear a mask, I work in a care home?' and then glared at me for the whole first act.

As my DH later commented, if only he knew - I'm an NHS consultant working with palliative patients, think I'd have won that game of Top Trumps.

Anyway sorry to derail, I hope @coffeepleeease you are getting on with the inhaler and spacer and fingers crossed for your DD.

My daughter used to do this. Massive tonsils clogging her throat up. Always choking and always vomiting with a cough due to them setting off her gag reflex. They were removed thank god.

DD is 13 now and keeps having odd episodes where she can't get her breath. They have put it down to unfitness and anaemia, but she is also on the waiting list for the spirometer test but they can't do them at the moment because of covid

I'm mid-thirties and often vomit/gag when I'm having a coughing fit.

My DS does this and if I have a particularly bad cough I do it too. DS is 3 but as I still do it in my mid twenties I don't see him growing out of it to be honest

My dd is like this. She has asthma and as others have said I think it's related. We've got the asthma under better control now so it happens less often. Gets better as they get older.

i am still the same and in my 40's
