Brief Answer:
you are suffering from is GERD--gastro esophageal reflux disease.
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to health care magic,
What you are suffering from is GERD--gastro esophageal reflux disease. This happens when the sphincter that closes the upper end of food pipe becomes loose. After food has finished reaching stomach normally this sphincter closes tight so that food does not regurgitate upwards. But when it becomes loose, the food continues to rise up when the stomach is churning to digest the food. These food particles pass from food pipe to wind pipe, cause irritation and the cough, especially s in your case on eating oily food.
Do you have any symptoms of regurgitation?
Are you overweight?
Do you exercise regularly?
Do you have any other medical problem?
Answer?--eat small 2 hourly meals that are not heavy. Avoid garlic, radish, coffee,tea, chocolates and Colas, lose weight, and take any preparation of Omeprazole with domperidone.
Please revert back.
Regards

Brief Answer:
I would still like you to follow the advise I have given
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I would still like you to follow the advise I have given since the cough is food related. Besides Omeprazole 20 with domperidone once a day before meals, if the cough really bothers you--you can take a preparation of Monteleukast 10 and fexofenadine 120 one a day any time cough bothers you more. But do keep your doctor informed.
