Coughing/ coughing fits

Question

Asked for Female, 14 Years

I've had a cough for almost a month and it seems to have gotten worse over time. At first I was just coughing up phlegm and it would be over. Now I have coughing fits that make me puke and my throat closes up and I am unable to breathe. I have no phlegm in my system anymore and my throat isn't sore at all. When I cough and throw up my drool as I'm coughing. I've been coughing so much that at times I start to hyperventilate when I'm coughing and my sides have started to get sore.
