Why do I cough up mucus at the end of every meal?
I have researched, but failed to find out why at the instant I complete any meal, I begin to cough up mucus. Most embarrassing!

1 Reactiondon't know about anyone else, but mine seems to be due to food allergies
I had an endoscopy 2 weeks ago because of the productive cough after eating. No sign of reflux or GERD
I did that for years. I think starting on flonase and astelin helped a lot and the brinsupri also probably helped. I was on protonix for 2 months, but have been off for 2 months and the cough has gone away pretty much. I am qualifying all this because, still covering all the bases, like saline nebs, airway clearance, etc.
I do that sometimes. I have a few mild food allergies. If I eat something that bugs me, I cough afterwards and have more phlegm.
Just wonder if you need a barium swallow to test for silent aspiration?
