hi, sudden reflux drive can abnormally activate his sensitive airways and can result in bronchospasm. if you are sure he did not have seizures, foam from mouth can be due to hypersalivation and rarely due to pulmonary edema (fluid in lungs). keep him out of exertion and he will be fine. hope this helped.
