What Causes Obstruction In The Airway While Eating?
My 23 year old daughter had a mild obstruction in her airway while eating her thanksgiving dinner. She was able to breathe with some difficulty, able to cough and gained the ability to speak. She experienced the loss of some blood thru her nose as she was trying to dislodge She eventually vomitted and seams to be recovering. She still is complaining about her throat feeling out of wack . I m thinking this could be from the trama.... Was wondering what to expect and how to handle the recovery and if I should watch for any signs to be aware of a possible concern. It has been about an hour since the event.

Hello,
Most probably it is due to severe acid reflux. As first line management, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
