Alexandre Chagnon · Accepted Answer

Hello! Is your cough caused by choking? I would advise you to try eating and drinking more slowly. When you drink or eat quickly, you swallow air, which can cause burping. Drinking certain beverages, such as soft drinks, can also cause burping. With an answer to my question, I'll be better able to help you.

Since there is some sort of blockage in your throat when you eat, I would advise you to go see a doctor. The doctor will be able to assess if there is a cause for the blockage.
