Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please explain why my child always chokes when eating?Doctor's answer:
If you are an adult and often choke while eating, there are three common possibilities:1. Due to hasty eating, the coordination of opening and closing between the esophagus and respiratory organs is delayed.
2. Many cases of pharyngitis and other respiratory or esophageal diseases in their early stages can cause choking during meals.
3. Mild issues in the brain region that controls the coordination between "human eating and breathing" may lead to this.
