IF your toilet sink and washer are on the same waste line, which they probably are, the problem is't a short trap. Actually since your washer, toilet and sink have different traps it shoudn't effect anything. The problem probably comes from the washer being what is called a "sudds producing fixture". The sudds produced by your washer can actually go up either your toilet or sink waste line. By code the waste for your washer should be tied in to the sewer main 6' from where your waste line goes up for your bathroom. The only solution is to redo the piping from the sewer main and move your waste line for the washer.

it won't harm anything. The worst thing that could happen is you'll get suds out of the drain in the sink

Can epilepsy cause a chronic cough?

It is highly unlikely that epilepsy would cause a cough of any kind. Epilepsy affects the brain, and although that in turn causes effects in other parts of the body, it would not cause a cough. The effects of epilepsy would only last during a seizure, whereas a chronic cough would be something that would be continuous. The cause of a problem cough would lie elsewhere.

What could be wrong if you keep coughing but you don't have a cold and you just got your tonsils out?

Any irritation to the throat, bronchial tubes or lungs can cause a cough. Having your tonsils removed definitely irritates your throat and can cause a cough. However, to know for sure what is causing the cough and to find out if the cough could cause a problem after the recent tonsillectomy (such as trigger bleeding), it would be good to contact the surgeon who removed your tonsils and report the cough for them to determine what, if any, treatment you may need.
