What Could Be The Cause Of Dry Cough Resulting In Throwing Up Of Saliva In A Child?
My 3 year old daughter has had a nasty cough for the past 4 days. Seems to be getting better but throughout the night she has run in saying she is going to be sick, we get to the toilet and she gags and then throws up (spits up) saliva. No fever, not even a lot of coughing. I'm guessing maybe drainage is causing it but just was curious what might cause that.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Cough in a 3 years old baby without fever or expectoration suggests that it may be either bronchiolitis or whooping cough.
Better consult pediatrician and arrive at a correct diagnosis.
