Hi

from what my kids have done in the past I wouldnt be overyly worried as many kids swallow phlegm rather than dispose like adults do, also if he had been crying that often can make a child vomit if they are very upset.

My 9 yr old is now on day 3 of antibs and her cough hasnt eased at all either so it maybe the strain of lurgy doing the rounds , if your son hasnt improved by tues thaen it maybe worth speaking to your gp i now thats what i will be doing.

PLease rememebr that if you are really worried then call NHS Direct or go to A and E they would rather se a poorly child that a seriously ill one.

Hope 2007 is a better 1 for you and your son. x
