If a dog is coughing and throwing up, it could be a sign of various health issues such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal problems, or even ingestion of a foreign object. It is important to monitor the dog closely and seek veterinary attention promptly. The vet may recommend diagnostic tests such as blood work, x-rays, or ultrasound to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment, which may include medication, dietary changes, or surgery. In the meantime, make sure the dog has access to fresh water and a calm, quiet environment to rest.

Hmmm......Maybe because your dog is sick.
When your dog or cat or horse coughs up mucous; this means they have been "hyperventilating; hyperventilating is during hot weather the animal "breathes with the tongue hanging out...what happens is: when your dog "hyperventilates...mucous begins to collect @ the back of the dog's throat; so your dog "coughs up this mucous; if your dog or cat cannot cough up the mucus; then open the dog's mouth and scrape the mucous out of the dog's mouth with your fingers; then wash your hands...
Call your vet for advice.
