What Causes Cough Every Time After Eating?
I have an annoying cough that has lasted well over a year. it happens after I eat. I tried to eat much smaller meals, cut out carbs . It did improve slightly but it now happens everytime I eat. even if I eat just 1 cracker, I cough. sometimes when I breathe it sounds like I have asthma but I don t as I hear a wheeze. a doctor checked my lungs and they are perfect. I m 36 and very healthy otherwise and on no medication.
