My son has been coughing non-stop for two nights, especially after lying down. Today morning, after a long coughing fit, he actually vomited his breakfast. Is it possible that just coughing too much can make someone throw up?

Yes, it happens because of the strong gag reflex trigger during severe coughing. But please consult a specialist at a proper clinic or hospital to find out if it's bronchitis or something else needing prescription meds.

Honestly, coughing so hard that you throw up at 3 AM is my current life status. The pressure on the stomach is real when you can't stop coughing. Need to sleep but this throat tickle won't let me.

It definitely can happen due to abdominal pressure, but let's not self-diagnose. I have learned to always check with my physician when symptoms get this intense, just to rule out any underlying infections.
