epiglottis and i know why you need the question ;) ghms
Haha :O . I know too ;D
No, I have not experienced a choking incident while eating food.
When choking on food, it is most likely caused by an interference with the proper functioning of the airway passage. This can happen due to food getting stuck in the throat or airway, blocking the passage of air into the lungs. Immediate action should be taken to clear the obstruction and ensure proper breathing.
If you accidentally inhale food, it can lead to choking or aspiration pneumonia. Choking occurs when food blocks the airway, making it difficult to breathe. Aspiration pneumonia happens when food or liquid enters the lungs, causing infection. It is important to seek medical help if you experience difficulty breathing or coughing after inhaling food.
If food enters the trachea instead of the esophagus, it can block the airway and lead to choking or aspiration pneumonia. Choking occurs when the airway is partially or completely blocked, making it difficult to breathe. Aspiration pneumonia can develop if food particles enter the lungs and cause an infection.
The epiglottis is a small flap of tissue at the base of the tongue that prevents food and liquid from entering the windpipe (trachea) during swallowing. It covers the opening of the trachea to direct food and liquid into the esophagus, helping to prevent choking.

Choking occurs when a piece of food or some other object gets stuck in the airway. Chicken, fish bones, and pieces of meat that have not been chewed properly get stuck in the throat easily. If you have been drinking alochol, you risk of choking is even greater because you may have been careless about chewing food well. Thanks for asking.

The precaution for choking for adults is the same as it is for children. To prevent choking thoroughly chew food.
I have acid reflux and yes it does cause some choking...if food comes up and you swallow, you may end up choking on this partially digested food. Also, i sometimes wake up just choking on hot air.
Younger children (ages 5 and below) may not chew food properly and choke. Choking is often silent.
choking hazard?
yes it can.
You would not be able to digest your food properly.

Does it happen while you are eating and drinking? Or is it reflux from your stomach?
By completely chewing your food.
