  Also, the cough reflex is partially mediated via general visceral afferent parasympathetic fibers. [4] The cough reflex is initiated by cough receptors. [ruralneuropractice.com]

  He also noticed that he is coughing while eating food. There was no history of fever, trauma or ear discharge. [cancerjournal.net]
