Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I will like to know the clinical details. There's a condition called microaspiration. Here the food items do enter the lungs in minute quantity. Apparently the patient may be eating normally. Since I do not have the exact clinical details I cannot comment further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
