coughing

Avatar m tn Has anybody found a solution for coughing after eating? I have gone to Pulomnist, ENT specialist. They have done chest xray, CT Scan of Throat and chest, GERD test. All negative. Please Help. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/282984'>Eating food causes excess mucus</a>.
Avatar m tn It seems that whenever I go to a restaurant to eat -- five to ten minutes after I am done eating -- I end up coughing hard to the point that it feels as if I am going to throw up. I have a black pepper allergy - and make sure to speak with the executive chefs to assure that nothing has it in it. I also have been diagnosed with acid reflex as well as my throat spasming when I swallow food. I have spent a lot of time fixing my diet at home.
Avatar n tn Some kids actually have small bits of food go into their wind pipe which makes them cough when eating solid food. My boy does and always has had weak oral motor skills but he gags and doesn't cough. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it as more 'food' for thought.
Avatar m tn Our 2.5-year-old daughter has no known food allergies. Recently, she had a coughing episode after the quick ingestion of 3 peanut M&Ms. She had a cold a few weeks ago, and has had a lingering cough ever since. I haven't been too concerned, since her whole school has had the same thing, and I know coughing in kids (and adults) can last for weeks. Still, it was a bad bout of coughing.
1276940 tn?1564515084 Hi.....my name is Lisa, I am 40 years old and for the past 2 years I have been getting strangled very easily when eating or drinking. It doesn't happen a lot......maybe twice a month but I start coughing and it takes forever for me to quit! I can hardly catch my breath!! We were eating out at a restaurant one time and I had someone ask me if I needed help I was coughing so bad!!
Avatar n tn My husband has developed a severe gagging/coughing reaction after eating certain foods. He has had several test; upper GI; gallbladder function; ultrasound; and been on several medications; Acifex, Pepsid, Nexium, Zegerid?, Prilosec. He has no pain in his chest or throat with these episodes. They occur within 5 minutes of eating and can last up to 30 minutes. After the gagging/coughing stops, he is extremely tired, to the point of having to take a nap. We are at a loss as to the cause.
Avatar n tn HI Bokkie09ty, I would call your vet asap and speak to him - sometimes with dogs if they have a stomach upset, its advised to give them bland or minimal food for 24 hours - however if she isn't eating or drinking anything for the past 48 hours then you need to seek medical advise asap. I know its a strange question - will she drink out of a running tap? Sometimes when my dogs won't drink from a bowl they will drink from the outside hose pipe.
Avatar m tn For the past 3 weeks, about half the times I have eaten I have coughed and gagged for a few minutes. I get a feeling in my throat that makes me want to cough. I cough so hard that I gag and feel like I can't breathe. It all started back when I had a virus (100.4 degree temperature, migraines that wouldn't go away with pain meds, and the coughing/gagging). The other two symptoms have gone away, but I still cough and gag after eating.
Avatar n tn In the last 6 months I have experienced coughing, choking and mucus for about 30 minutes after eating. I first thought it was related to a food allergy, but I cannot isolate it to any specific food group. I do not experinece and acid reflux or vomiting, just constant choking. This is very irritating and is a bit strange. Does anyone have an idea of the cause or where I should go for resolution.
Avatar n tn I was hospitalized for a week with pneumonia in both lungs 2 years ago. Ever since then I cough up phelm and have coughing throat clearing fits after eating a meal. When I told my respitory doctor about it and she didn't have a clue why that would happen. I do not smoke, I don't have allgeries, I don't have any symptons of acid reflux. This started as soon as I was released from the hospital.
1356839 tn?1277282040 Some folks wonder why they try and try to loose weight but nothing seems to work, well, sometimes it is what they are eating and when they stop eating that particular food, they loose weight. Another note, some folks actually "crave" the very foods they are allergic to, it is strange, but, it almost like your body is "addicted" to that food. No one really know why however.
Avatar n tn I have had the same problem with mucus and coughing after eating, and the problem is always solved when I take DI-AID (by Solgar, but there are a number of companies that make it). Apparently, a lack of digestive enzymes is the main cause of my problem, and after many years and many clueless doctors, a nutritional therapist in London very confidently directed me down the right path.
Avatar n tn No fever. Not eating. She was put on pencillin. She is still coughing 3 days later and is barely eating. Could she have aspiration pneumonia and was this caused by the anesthesia? Should I worry?
1337425 tn?1278173987 A couple of days ago I had a really bad case of acid reflux while laying down, elevated, watching tv. Was later able to cough out a small chunk of food, but have been coughing hard since then, and think I might have aspirated some food into lungs. I also smoke, but this never, ever caused coughing episodes before. Is aspiration of food into lungs something that can be resolved by coughing? If not, what should I do?
Avatar f tn Step 1: The best way is to start eating a diet of whole food (clean fruit and vegetables - nothing added) for a few days (I doubt these will cause symptoms). Step 2: Once without symptoms and when ever you have the time (for example over weekends) add a new food item and make a list of the foods which cause such a dizziness or other symptoms.
Avatar n tn Hepatitis C virus is not spread by sharing eating utensils, breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, holding hands, coughing, or sneezing. It is also not spread through food or water. http://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/cfaq.
Avatar f tn Perhaps you could request a MDI/inhaler/puffer for the wheezing/coughing. I have had the same problems as you off and on and find the inhaler helps. I use it once/day and it works like a charm. When the wheezing/coughing subsides, I stop using it.
Avatar f tn t used to be so bad. It used to happen only after I ate spicy food or food that was really hot. Now it happens after everything that I eat. I do not seem to have any other symptoms. I do smoke about 1 pack every 2 weeks, so not that often, but i do. I thought that maybe it was allergies, but I don't really have allergy problems. I hope that i have not left anything out. Please help me to find out what this is and what I can do to fix it if possible.
Avatar m tn The fluoroscopy revealed that when Tyler swallows the muscles in her esophagus force the food the wrong direction. When she swallows again the food again gets pushed the wrong direction after entering her stomach. The vets diagnose her with acid reflux, and further examinations had seen damage in her throat from where the acid had caused damage. She was prescribed with Zantac, Prilosec and sucralfate for two weeks, and her reaction to the medication was to be monitored.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with lupus in 1997, which has since been in remission. I have always had extreme sensitivity to dust, smoke, smog, strong smells etc., etc, wherein particles seemed to get into my throat and mucus builds up in throat and I cough for I seem to be about to choke. Recently, I ingested a piece of plastic and subsequently, bronchoscopy was done, and findings were normal, the plastic wasn't in my lungs.
Avatar f tn It is called gustatory rhinitis, and it is triggered by the act of eating food, any food. Now if you look up the definiton it will describe a conditon where the persons nose starts to run during eating, and doesn't mention any cough. I figured there was no reason that this could not also be the cause of his cough, draining down the back of his throat rather than a runny nose.
