I've always coughed after eating, I think it's a lung irritation thing, and Covid's made me really self conscious about it in public but it's not Covid.

Maybe people also have irritated lungs.

Hi, cough comrade!

This could also be a Vagus nerve thing. Lots of people have a cough reflex triggered by stimulation of the Vagus nerve, including the part in the digestive tract. It's called the Arnold's nerve cough reflex.

Hmm. Couldn't find too much on it but maybe.

covid made me start to cough after eating

Damn, that sucks. Never heard of that symptom.

I definitely had this way before Covid though.

it was actually the worst during the acute phase of covid

I've noticed a lot of people have that symptom (covid or not) it's pretty interesting
