Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

The cough after eating food is mostly due to esophageal irritation or GERD. It happens as reflux mechanism. It can be controlled by gastric prokinetic drugs like domeperidone or metachlopromide along with antacids like femotidine.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks
