      I dont think so. Its more vomiting then anything that causes slippage. I would get some cough syrup from your doctor though.

    If you're coughing really hard, like the type that sometimes results in choking, then it's possible but unlikely.

    If you're worried, I'd call your doctor. Perhaps they can call you in a script for a good cough suppressant.
