What happens when food goes down the wrong way?
Sometimes, when we swallow, liquid or pieces of food go down the wrong way and pass through the larynx into the airways, instead of passing through the pharynx to the oesophagus.
What are the causes?
Food going down the wrong way is sometimes the result of paralysis of the nerves that control the pharynx and the larynx or the consequence of taking a breath at the wrong time.
