| trizob 10/02/20 8:39:30 PM #5: | Post-tussive emesis (throwing up after a coughing fit) can be a sign of pertussis (whooping cough). People are routinely vaccinated against pertussis with childhood vaccinations, but the immunity is not life long and re-vaccination is necessary. It's possible to get pertussis even if you've been vaccinated. I'm not sure if your doctor would be agreeable, but you can ask him to do a culture or PCR for pertussis.
