I experience a painless cough when drinking water after meals, as well as a brief cough with phlegm while taking a bath. What medicine or treatment should I take to resolve these symptoms?

Your symptoms are common and usually not a cause for concern. Coughing when drinking water after meals can be triggered by mild acid reflux (GERD) or a sensitive airway reflex. The brief cough with phlegm during a bath is likely because the warm steam naturally loosens normal mucus in your airways, helping you clear it. To manage this, try eating smaller meals, sitting upright after eating, and avoiding drinking water too quickly after food. If reflux is the cause, over-the-counter generic medications like famotidine or omeprazole may help. Please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation to rule out any swallowing or respiratory issues.
