[|Human|] Hi I was eating a hamburger last night and inhaled wrong and immediately felt it had gone down the wrong way. I was not able to cough it up. Still same feeling today with discomfort And mild pain in right lung area, some coughing. Do I need to go to a hospital? Can it wait for a gp on Monday? Do I need to be worried?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In your case, we need to rule out aspiration of foreign body (food piece) into the lungs. You are having chest pain and coughing, so possibility of foreign body aspiration is more. So better to consult specialist (pulmonologist) and get done broncos copy. Bronchoscopy will not only diagnose your problem but if food piece is there than it will also remove it. So bronchoscopy is diagnostic as well as therapeutic in your case. So don't wait at home. And consult pulmonologist as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
