I'm quite sure what your question is, but in general, rib pain resulting from coughing is often the result of muscular strain, sometimes ligament sprain, and sometimes rib displacement. All are generally responsive to chiropractic soft tissue and joint manipulation.
However, if your chronic cough and vomiting is the result of an allergic asthma, you need to follow your medical doctor's advice for treating your allergy, asthma, and reducing the exposure to the allergens that may be the root cause of your problem.
