How Can Food Stuck In The Wind Pipe Be Removed?
I was eating Spaghetti and inhaled a small piece of the food. Very small amount. However, I can tell there is something in my windpipe as it feels like I have to cough a lot like when you are congested. Should I assume I ll be ok or just look for signs of infection? OR, should I go to see a doctor? Not sure if I should worry or not...
