default
Posted on Thu, 9 Apr 2015
Question: I Aspirated a Ginkgo Biloba Vitamin from GNC this morning, I felt it go right and immediately started to Wheeze and Cough Violently, this lasted 20 minutes. I then vomited and felt the pill come out, the Vitamin was 3/4 intact but one of the ends was open. I am still coughing remnants of the Vitamin. The ingredients of the Vitamin also included:
Flavoglycosides 28.8mg
Terpene Lactones 7.2mg
Cellulose
Dicalcium Phosphate
Do I need to have a Chest Xray, Antibiotics and a Cough Expectorant for a few days, or will this resolve itself?
