Okay, so early on this week, my 2 year old sister had started with a routine cough. On Wedneday, my mom put her to sleep, and after about an hour started to cough a lot. My mom started to get frustrated and tryed to console her. My mom layed her on top of her stomach laying down and she started gagging from coughing and then threw up. I am a severe emetophobe and so I started throwing a fit. But anyway, after the throwing up, she was acting normally, hitting and fooling with the cat, and then went to bed. So, about 10 minutes ago, me and mmy mo were talking and then we heard her start to cough. She started coughing more heavily and then began gagging and throwing up again. She had eaten a hot dog and some ice cream earlier (which isnt good for a cough). Last night my mom also tryed Delsyum, a supposed "good" cough medicine. Nothing happened. Do you think that it is from the cough that she threw up or a stomach virus? I am so paranoid about throw up, thats why im asking :)

It is probably from her coughing... and congestion.
My daughter when two years old did the exact same thing when she would get a cold and cough with lots of congestion. She had an extremely sensitive gag reflex. She'll out grow it eventually.

Yeah, I would say it's her cough that is causing her to gag and vomit. I would suggest a cough supressant or maybe she needs an expectorant (helps produce junk from the lungs so its not a dry cough which could be causing the gagging and vomitting). Give her clear fluids. Hopefully it passes. As for you, I'd say stay clear of her as soon as you hear her start to cough and gag. That is a sign. Run for the hills!

the throwing up is most likely from the coughing spells. If it was a stomach bug it would be more frequent.

dont worry, once a virus is out in the open it dies extremely quick. especially vommit. it needs to find a host extremely fast and i doubt its serious or she'd be in really bad shape. prob just a cough infection or chest infection. dont panic

everyone who tells you it truly is psychosomatic is basically searching for an excuse to drill a hollow on your head. That being reported, i imagine you're of direction posessed by utilising demons. What did they use to remedy that contained in the middle a at the same time as, back...? allow me imagine.

I have no idea what it could be, but (as I'm sure you know) she needs to go to a doctor! That way it can be checked out and you can be comforted that it's nothing serious.
I wish her the best!

It may be from the coughing - it is not uncommon.

Take her to a doctor. YA is not a pediatrician.
