Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

I can help you better of i get to know following answers:
Does this happen at a specific time? e.g after some specific meal, emotional response, etc?
When this happens then how do you treat it?
Do you smoke? If yes, then how many per day?
Is there any past history of chronic cough or chest infection?

In most of the cases it is just a muscular spasm but can be due to allergic response as well which gets resolved itself after a while.

Would guide further after getting answers.
Wishing you good health.
