Why do we choke and cough sometime when we swallow food?
Choking and coughing when swallowing food occur primarily due to the body's protective mechanisms. When food or liquid enters the airway instead of the esophagus, the brain triggers a cough reflex to expel the substance and prevent it from blocking the airway. This can happen if food is swallowed too quickly, is improperly chewed, or if the swallowing process is disrupted. Additionally, certain medical conditions can increase the likelihood of these events.
