Coughing while throwing up acts just like a gag reflex. Its there to help prevent Aspiration Pneumonia... which is inhaling something that isn't supposed to be inhaled like food, liquids, saliva and vomit virtually anything that isn't air. Coughing will help to keep it from getting into your lungs... its another defence mechanism the body has.
