Ok so everything I just typed got lost so I am going to try this again:
Hope everyone is staying cool
I would like to ask if anyone has trouble with things like cakes especially something like drake devil dogs... Dad had two last night at around 9:30pm. He ate them and it was fine when they were going down. a little later he coughed once or twice and drank some water... Then when he went to bed at around 10:30 I heard him cough and clear his throat a few times... I know that sometimes when I eat these I find them very dry and I thought that perhaps this is something he should not eat or at least not something he shoud eat so close to bed... Would you all agree? I get nervous when this happens this means that food is stuck in the lungs and this it what causes aspiration and then you can get sick... Would this be considered that or just a wrong pipe, or sticky food in the back of the throat that is causing the reflex of a cough?
Thanks in advance for your response
