What Causes Choke And Vomit While Eating Food?
Question: I will be eating and choke and throw up food and mucas
Brief Answer:
How often does this happens?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this choking and vomiting. I will like to know the frequency of this and for how long it has been going on. If it just started, then I Will say observe only, collect more information and will work on. Most short term choking and vomiting are actually not caused by a particular disease and they usually resolve spontaneously.
If it has been happening for long, it may suggest that the swallowing reflex is faulty and allows food into the windpipe which causes this. In this case, it will be necessary to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
