Can I drink water immediately after coughing or choking?

Updated by SGH-AHPEDIA
Drinking water immediately after coughing or choking can be dangerous because: The coughing may be due to aspiration, which means that food and drink may have wrongly entered the airway By drinking more water, it continues to increase the risk of more drinks entering the airway It's better to wait until the coughing episode has completely stopped
