Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Such reaction for cough syrup can be caused by gallstones. It is quite characteristic for this condition to cause upper abdominal pain which radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting are very often present.
Sometimes pancreas irritation by some syrup ingredient can cause such symptoms as well.

I suggest you to visit your doctor and have abdominal ultrasound done. If nothing will be found, please consider gastroscopy.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
