Hi all,
So coming up to three days ago, I was eating a polo mint/lifesaver while watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? I laughed at hard at one point and sucked in about a third of the broken down mint. I don't think I swallowed it and I didn't cough at all, it just disappeared down a pipe.
Now I am freaking out that it's either stuck in my windpipe or has gone into my lung. I've been clearing my throat quite a bit these last few days (but that is something I fall into when I get stressed) and it's a bit phlegmy. I can eat fine and my breathing is OK (it also goes a bit wonky when I get stressed so it's hard to judge!)
If it had gotten stuck in my throat/windpipe, would it still be there days later? And if it had gone into my lung, would I be having more adverse symptoms by now?
