You seem to be suffering recurrent aspiration of food. It can occur when there is incoordination between swallowing and closure of laryngeal inlet. In general reflux laryngopharyngitis is one of the common cause for such an problem. You may need to take anti reflux medications for few weeks for long term benefits
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
