Immediate help: You need to seek immediate help, as ingestion or inhalation of foreign objects like the toothpick you mention are medical emergencies. You may be lucky and have limited to no issues related to this but don't leave that up to chance. If you have any difficulty breathing, are spitting up or coughing up blood, have abdominal pain or chest pain seek now!
