slight cough after throwing up

[Keeper 218]

First note, it has literally been years since I have thrown up. I have always been really healthy- I haven't even had a cold in years. Vomiting had nothing to do with my band and it was just once. I had a reaction to a medicine I took yesterday morning. I didn't have any food in my stomach, just coffee. I have been had a slight cough since then, not just at night. My cough is not bad at all; just irritating. I know that if it gets worse to let my doctor know but I'm not worried at this point. My question is how long will this last?

I would just call the dr's office and talk to a nurse...usually they are pretty good about answering questions over the phone.

Maybe its just a tad irritated? I would try some warm liquids like maybe tea and soft foods for a day and see how it goes....

Did you find out about the cough? I have the same thing at times.

to be honest, I didn't ask. I had my fill just a little while ago but I didn't see the dr - just the techs.

Basically I've been sick this last week. I can't tell if that was because I threw up or if me getting sick just triggered me getting a cold. I'm still coughing and have some chest congestion, but my throat is not hurting anymore (a couple of days ago i woke up with a very sore throat) so I'm happy. I feel like I'm just getting over a cold without all the nose issues.
