Specializes in Internal Medicine

Bronchospasm....: Cold can cause bronchospasm which, in turn, can lead to coughing. Try to eat and drink cold substances slower, giving them the chance to warm up prior to swallowing. If this is more than a nuisance, see your doctor since bronchodilator inhalers may help the situation.
