Is my dog's reverse sneezing a concern? What are the warning signs?

Question

My chihuahua reverse sneezes sometimes, which I hear isn’t a major concern, but he’s gone into small fits a few times this week. How can I tell if this is a concern or not? What are the warning signs? Can it be cause by anxiety? I give him table food sometimes, can that be a factor? Are there specific articles, websites, or information that can point me in the right direction? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua (Smooth Coat) | Male | neutered | 8 lbs

Reverse sneezing can be stressful to your dog, and is very common in smaller breeds, but isn't usually harmful. Sometimes, opening your dog's mouth to let them take in air can help reduce the episode. If you're noticing a pattern with the episodes and excitement or food intake, taking steps to reduce people food (it's not good for dogs anyway and can cause other health issues!) or anxiety may help if it is related,.
