What To Do If A Bite Of Food Has Gone In To Wrong Pipe?
I was eating a cream cheese bagel yesterday, and was eating rather quickly. My last bite felt like it went down the wrong tube and now I am concerned that it may have gone into my lung. Is it possible for a rather large bite of food to make it into the lungs? Would it be incredibly obvious that this had occured? I have never had problems like this before. I am a 27 year old female wondering what I should do!
