Cause Of Coughing And Difficulty Breathing When Swallowing Saliva To Sooth Dry Throat?
Sometimes when my throat is really dry and I try to swallow saliva to soothe it, it makes my cough and feel like I can't breath. It kinda feels as if the air way is smaller. It gives off a tickling feeling that you can't stop which makes you cough. Why do you think that is?

Hello
You may be having some neurological problem which is causing the saliva to enter your airway instead of your food passage.
Dont worry. i dont think it is very sever or serious, but however you still need to be evaluated properly and i would like you to meet your ent doctor for further advice,
THanks
