[|Human|] My friends have all been sick lately.. They get a high fever and sleep a lot. My boyfriend can not stop coughing and its got to the point where he gags now. Im worried. Maybe its nothing. But I have never seen anyone with the tendency to gag after they cough.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Vomiting due to coughing is seen with severe coughing. So we should definitely rule out lung infection and bronchitis in his case. So get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about major lung disease. Tell him to Chat Doctor.  Do warm water gargles 5-6 times a day. Tale levocetrizine twice daily after some food. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your boyfriend. Thanks.
