How Can Food Stuck In The Wind Pipe Be Removed?
Hello,
I was eating some cereal last night and a piece of it went down my wind pipe. I tried coughing it up but everytime I do it blocks my airway and I cant breathe. I feel it trying to come up and everytime I try to swallow it goes back down the wrong pipe. I can breathe fine, but the food is still stuck. what should I do next?

Hi,
You may try Heimlich manoeuvre with your colleague to dislodge the foreign body. If not successful, then please consult your pulmonologist, he will do bronchoscopy and remove it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
