What Causes Choking On Thick Vomit?

Hi! My granddaughter, Niah, is 16 months old. The other night my daughter woke up and Niah choking on thick vomit. My daughter said the thickness and texture was that of a cat s hairball. This isn t the first time she has choked on her vomit, but when my daughter took her to the doctor, she said this is normal? We are both worried - I have never heard of this happening to anyone else before? Any idea what would be causing this or if it is serious?
