A member asked:

What causes me when i eat black pepper or something cold i cough and feel like i'm choking !?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irritation: Spices like pepper and hot chilis cause irritation which can make you sneeze and cough. I suspect you are having a mild case of layrngeospasm which the cold food. I am mildly concerned about this becuase if you had a severe reaction it could be serious. Perhaps an ENT doctor could help you figure this problem out.
