I have a dry cough, and I vomit after eating food. I was advised to use cetirizine syrup for the cough. What should I do?
A dry cough with vomiting after food may be due to throat irritation, reflux or persistent coughing spells. Cetirizine may help only if an allergy is present, but it may not fully control these symptoms. Try taking small, frequent meals, avoid spicy or heavy food and keep yourself well hydrated. Warm fluids can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. Consult your doctor, as this requires proper evaluation and appropriate treatment.
