Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I inhaled a small piece of tuna fish (dry). I thought it had dislodged but it came back up and lodged again. It became lodged when it came back up. I coughed a lot and drank a lot of water, warm and cold. I m not sure if I coughed it up. I seem to be breathing find now but, of course, my throat is irritated and I keep burping because of the water I think. Should I be concerned about it becoming lodged in my airway? It was just a little tuna fish.
