when I eat potato chips or other dry chips of dry cereal I get a dry choking cough. t\nhis has gone on for several years and it is not improving. I do not have gerd symtoms and take no medications for it although I take an abundance of other medicines. I am 88 years old, exercise and generally in good health. Potato ci[s and other chis such as found in Mxican restaurants will provoke coughing within a few minutes and don t go away very easily. I have stop[ed ordering them.
