What disease is it that often causes choking and coughing for no reason? What causes choking and coughing easily?

Coughing is a common symptom in our lives. Many people cough because of choking, especially those who have had their tonsils removed. Because there are no tonsils in the throat, sometimes eating some food can easily choke the throat, which can easily cause coughing. Foreign objects entering the trachea can also easily cause coughing. So what is the disease that often causes coughing for no reason?

Choking cough refers to a phenomenon in which foreign objects, water or food enter the trachea, causing reflexive violent coughing, which causes the foreign objects to be coughed out from the respiratory tract, thus protecting the respiratory tract. First of all, we need to determine whether the choking and coughing is caused by a local disease or an abnormal neural swallowing reflex. It is currently believed that the most common disease that causes choking and coughing when drinking water is bulbar palsy, also known as bulbar palsy, which causes choking and coughing. Another is pseudobulbar palsy, where the lesion is in the pons or above the pons, causing the motor nerves in the medulla oblongata to lose control of the nerves above. Paralysis of the medulla oblongata may also occur, which is called pseudobulbar palsy. It is generally common in cerebral thrombosis and the sequelae of cerebral infarction. In addition, some elderly people are prone to choking when drinking water due to relaxed laryngeal muscles and weakened swallowing reflex. In more rare cases, foreign objects in the trachea may cause esophageal narrowing and cause choking. There is also esophageal tracheal fistula. For example, in esophageal cancer, the tumor ruptures and connects with the trachea. Food can enter the trachea directly through the rupture and cause choking.

What is the disease of frequent coughing without reason?

There are mainly the following situations:

1. Patients with cerebral infarction are prone to choking, especially when drinking water. They may experience symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, limb weakness, and inflexibility of one side of the limbs. Generally, a CT scan at the hospital can confirm the diagnosis.

2. Tracheal inflammation refers to the bronchial mucosa and its surrounding tissues. It can also be caused by chronic nonspecific inflammation. Its main clinical manifestations are prolonged cough, sputum, accompanied by wheezing and repeated attacks.

3. It is also related to diseases of the nervous system.

4. Some symptoms of chronic pharyngitis may also cause choking and coughing, which is closely related to a person’s eating and living habits.

5. Some chronic inflammations or pharyngitis caused by staying up late, excessive stress, and getting angry, as well as vocal cord edema can also cause choking and coughing. Therefore, go to the ENT department of the hospital for treatment, use targeted medications based on relevant examination results, maintain adequate sleep, and keep a good mood, and you will get significant improvement.
