fell into a fit of catarrh? Dear Teachers,
I read this from p.239 of Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire:
"He gasped and fell into a fit of catarrh. 'Villain,' he said."
My dictionary says catarrh is "inflammation of a mucous membrane". What does it mean by "fell into a fit of catarrh"?

Teacher Re: fell into a fit of catarrh? Coughing perhaps or spluttering with anger.
