Suggest Remedy When Noodles Accidentally Goes Down The Wrong Pipe
Question: Can you accidentally swallowed noodles (Vietnamese noodles) down into lungs if you are talking and feeling a lil gag.. Can they slip down? Without coughing or would you know? They were slippery lil noodles feels like is in my chest
Brief Answer:
No, this is not possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
The disjunction between the airwaves and esophagus is build in a very smart way. There is not possibility to breath and swallow in one time as only one tube (airwaves or esophagus) are opened at one time.
So in simple words, there is no possibility for noodles to slip down. And even if you a noodle appears in the trachea, strong and sudden cough appears.
So what you feel in the chest, are not noodles for sure.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
