What Causes Severe Cough Along With Throat Pain And Vomiting?

I believe I may have a sinus infection. I have a terrible cough that is making my throat hurt. I m also queasy to my stomach and threw up a couple times in the last hour. My stomach feels better now that I threw up. I ve got a headache. And although I can breathe through my nose, my sinuses feel completely clogged from the bridge of my nose up

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe cough along with throat pain and vomiting. Well there can be many reasons for sore throat like bacterial and viral infection or in acid reflux . But in your case it seems to me that sore throat is probably because of viral infection , which usually go away by its own after completing the course. Vomiting along with cough is due to persistent infection of airways and sinuses. For now do warm saline gargles , take over the counter cough syrup and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and swelling. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist gain for proper examination . Doctor may order test like throat swab test , viral culture test and blood test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe antiviral drug like acyclovir and with anti inflammatory.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
