The problem may not be at all medication related. PWP's have trouble swallowing, especially at the later stages. Also, there maybe excessive saliva and nostril (phlegm) production. Food, saliva and phlegm can get into the airpipe (windpipe) where then the natural response of the body is to cough to remove the offending material. The situation can be made worse when the PWP sleeps on their back so that the stuff can flow toward the back of the throat. In extreme cases of inhaling material Aspiration Pneumonia results. Caution needs to exercised to prevent materials from entering the windpipe accidentally.
