A: Yes, coughing CAN be triggered by eating or drinking cold things, but only if the area is already inflamed and just about ANYTHING that irritates your airway further will cause you to cough.The cough reflex is mediated by the Xth cranial nerve. In neurologically intact patients and those who haven’t had nerve-altering surgery (like cancer of the throat) it is triggered by even something as small as a drop of saliva entering the laryngeal vestibule (the area between the epiglottis and the vocal cords).If you take a cough suppressant, it is likely to stop.

Q: When I breath deeply, it makes me cough. No fever, just very tired yesterday. And tonight, I noticed a blister on the side of my tongue and it hurts so bad i can not eat or talk? Please help me, Thank you so so much.

A: Two separate issues:1: the blister on the side of your tongue could be from a high citric acid intake. Take L-lysine. 2: When you breathe deeply and need to cough, it’s because of mucus in your lungs. Take mucinex or go to a doctor and get some prescription expectorant.
