Can Lung Pain Be A Result Of Bronchitis?
About 17 years ago, i inhaled a guitar pick, which had holes on it so did not suffocate. I am not sure if it went into lungs or stomach although it was a pretty big inhale. Ate some bean burritos and pintos and cheese, it seemed to move it out of my throat. I do not remember this coming out. Does plastic dissolve in the stomach? I have been recently having lung pain in random area's. It is a sharp pain and really started after a bad bout of bronchitis. Could that pick have gotten in my lung and just now is causing problems?

Hello
Thank you for your question.
If a foreign body passes through the airways that person will have a very bad excessive cough.It would be a very bad event not to be forgeten.Sometimes foreign bodies pass in the airways and after a period of time the patient go to the doctor with a chronic cough.During the lungs examination with fiberbronchoscopy or chest CT it is seen that there is a foreign body there.
In your case i do not think that sharp pain be the cause.Acute bronchitis non treated may be the cause.
So if this condition continues go and see a lung specialist.
Thank you
