What Causes Pain In The Chest After Choking Up On Bread Crumbs?
I had a severe choking incident this morning bread crumbs inhaled and lodged into my windpipe. After I was finally able to breath and during the episode I began having prickly pain on my chest and now when I cough or laugh feel it. Surface skin needle like pain rushing up from torso to neck. It s been about 12 hrs since and still happens when laugh or coughing. Concerned.

whenever some thing enters windpipe severe cough removes it ..if it had been still in food pipe it must have been causing breathing difficulty ..when bread entered windpipe it must have injured it and this injury is giving you pain when you laugh or cough ..it will go away in a few days ...you can take antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs for few days may be 5 days ...but if you have breathing problem then there must be chest xray ...please visit your local doctor
