i have a 5 year son who for about a week now is having these random coughing spurts and sometime will make him vomit.  he does not have any fever but very fatigue.  it sometimes happens atleast 4 to 5 times a day.  he cannot even talk during these spouts of coughing.
Hi...by what you quote I feel that he might be having a pertussis cough and the infection would have been caused by an atypical organism. If the child is coughing in bouts and the eyes are becoming red and face is becoming red during the cough bout and if after cough he is having a whooping inspiratory noise then it could be whooping cough or pertussis cough. I suggest you consult your pediatrician and get an antibiotic prescription and a cough suppressant. Once started this type of cough can last for 4-6 weeks. Regards -
