Hard to say, if there’s also: weight loss, ear pain, voice change, any blood, a neck lump, then I would be a little concerned
Hello,
You should see a GI provider and be scoped. The scope would give the information to why this is happening. Could be narrowing of the esophagus. If that's the case it can be dilated. If heavy drinking is involved you could have Barrett's esophagus which is a precursor to esophageal cancer. I would definitely recommend a GI specialist.

Probably have dysfunction of your upper esophageal sphincter. Cough means you have intact sensory function. See ENT for endoscopy and possible modified barium swallow.
