whenever I eat spicy food or masala rich food. Just after having it i got cough. It happens always in case of spicy food and remains only for 30 second or 1 minute. What is the explanation for this. Is it OK or not?

Dear lybrate-user if you know that you are allergic to spicy food and after eating it you suffer from cough then you should atop eating it or reduce the amount. This is happening because your body is not accustomed to these extremes and has an immune response that tries to expel that food, thus, cough after eating. Eat slowly.(chew and slowly swallow the food) avoid particular food. Keep the throat moist (sometime dry throat create cough). Stick to healthy diet. If only coughing is the complaint then do this and if any other associated complaints then tell me.
