Does anybody know why one would become teary eyed when stuck with a
fish bone in the throat? Besides, why would one get teary eyed when
coughing or trying to induce vomiting? What is the connection between
eyes getting watery/teary and coughing/vomiting or getting something
stuck in the throat?

Pain? As a method of signalling for help when one is unable to
breathe?
