What Causes Severe Cough?

I have unexplained coughing fits, like I have swallowed water.. It happens very fast. I don't have to be eating or drinking. I usually wind up coughing very hard for several seconds until I can catch my breath.

Starting this morning, I hve gone from what feel to be a fever to shaking with chills. SO far it has happened twice today.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Probably you have aspirated the gastric secretions. It would be better to do a gastroscopy for evaluating better the gastric reflux regarding your concern.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
