I had bad reflux on Sunday night and I ended up inhaling some stomach acid into my windpipe. It burned a lot but I spent about 1-2 hours coughing to try and make sure I got every last trace of stomach acid out of my lungs. Now I'm worried I could get pneumonia or water in my lungs.
I'm not coughing as much anymore but I do feel a bit breathless. I've been watching for signs of pneumonia such as a fast pulse, shortness of breath, feeling breathless while lying flat, a high temp etc but I don't have any of them. But my sister told me my forehead felt a bit hot today but no fever or anything.
I'm still worried because my voice is croaky after getting the acid down my larynx. Should I see a doctor. The thing is it'll be really busy because it's almost Christmas. I'm not sure what to do.
