A member asked:
Would object lodged in esophagus produce productive cough or dry cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: Object lodged in esophagus would not usually cause either type of cough, but more a choking sensation. If a cough is produced, i would imagine a dry cough, as there is no reason that sputum production would be increased.
