Cerebral Palsy Patient, Always Cough That Has Worsened, Abdominal Pain. Any Ideas ?

Hi,
My son is 30 yrs old, with cerebral palsy. He always seems to have a cough, but just lately it has gotten worse. It is a hacking cough, and he has to vomit to bring up phlegm. When he is sick, he brings up what looks like the grains from a cafetierre coffee pot. He is alos complaining of abdominal pain. We are awaiting tests, but it all takes so much time. Any ideas?

Hi, as you describe it appears to be the bleeding in the stomach due to the repeated vomitings, of cough, so much of cough could be due to uvulitis, or oophing cough.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe dextrometharfan containing cough syrup, omeprazole and domperidone, till the test results are received. Thank you.
