I was not eating, but something fell into my trachea and before I could cough it forward, it fell painfully to my right bronchus. I then started coughing violently but was unable to bring it up. Over the past few weeks my chest has begun to feel tight and still pain on my right bronchus. It hurts now to cough or sneeze. Otherwise I m healthy. Is there anything I should do now, besides make a doctors appointment? Shoud I have gone to emergency? Thank you.
Hello, I recommend doing a chest x-ray to confirm the presence of a foreign object in the bronchus. In such a case you may need to go to the emergency room for further evaluation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
