A 25-year-old female asked:
Can GERD give you a scratchy throat after swallowing food? Sometimes I'll take forever to chew because of my fear of choking, but my throat will force me to swallow and my throat will give me a scratchy feel, causing me to cough. Is this common?

Is it okay to swallow phlegm? I'm unable to spit it out because it makes me feel like I'm choking or will vomit. I'm concerned if swallowing phlegm will make my sickness last longer or if it could have any other negative effects on my health?
