What does it mean when my lungs fill with fluid after eating along with a cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aspiration: It means food gets into your lungs instead of going into the stomach. You should eat slowly, chew well, not talk while eating , and see a speech therapist for a swallowing study.
