Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
For many years, much of the time right after eating a meal or even a snack, I have to cough which is almost a 'phlegm-like' cough. It lasts about a minute or less. Also, in the past few years I sometimes have a hard time as soon as I swallow food (not liquids),as if the food gets stuck just before my stomach. This sometimes results in a few hiccups. Are these things related? Thank you.
