About 17 years ago, i inhaled a guitar pick, which had holes on it so did not suffocate. I am not sure if it went into lungs or stomach although it was a pretty big inhale. Ate some bean burritos and pintos and cheese, it seemed to move it out of my throat. I do not remember this coming out. Does plastic dissolve in the stomach? I have been recently having lung pain in random areas. It is a sharp pain and really started after a bad bout of bronchitis. Could that pick have gotten in my lung and just now is causing problems?
Cellophane you for your question. If a foreign body passes through the airways that person will have a very bad excessive cough. It would be a very bad event not to be forge ten. Sometimes foreign bodies pass in the airways and after a period of time the patient go to the doctor with a chronic cough. During the lungs' examination with fiberbronchoscopy or chest CT it is seen that there is a foreign body there. In your case I do not think that sharp pain be the cause. Acute bronchitis non-treated may be the cause. So if this condition continues go and see a lung specialist. Thank you Chat Doctor.
