What Causes Feeling Like Something Is Stuck In Lungs?
I was eating an orange and it went down the wrong pipe. It took my breath away and I struggled for a while and continued to cough. I thought it had cleared but the next day it seems like there is something in my lungs and I keep coughing to try and get it out but nothing is happening.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I have gone through the question and understand your concern.
I see similar kind of cases in my clinic. In first meeting, I advice them not to worry for aspiration in lungs and ask them to visit again after 1 week.
If they still have same feeling of something stuck in the lungs then I post them for bronchoscopic evaluation to rule out foreign body aspiration in the lungs.
So you can discuss this with your doctor.
