Question
Hello doctor,
I often have indigestion and I have a lot of saliva at night. Every time I eat something hot, my throat gets stuck, spitting up brown sputum but spitting it out is very difficult. I went to the doctor and the doctor said it was okay, both of these conditions are very common. So the doctor told me to ask if I can't eat, drink a lot when I sleep, what is the disease? Thank you doctor.
