DYSPHAGIA: This may be just a one time occurrence for you. If this becomes a repetitive event, I strongly urge you to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat Specialist for a formal hypopharyngeal examination.

Dark brown honey: or cough medicine like Robitussin DM (guaifenesin and dextromethorphan). You inadvertently inhaler some saliva. Discomfort should disappear with 24-48 hrs.. If still uncomfortable get checked at ER or UC clinic
