Is there any danger of getting gatorade in your lungs jusy got a small mouthful into my lungs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any liquid: Accidentally inhaled usually generates a vigorpus cough response. Aspiration of an irritant can cause a chemical "pneumonia". Gator-ade is a near physiologic solution of water and electrolytes (salts, sugar), with flavoring and color. Nothing special here forminor inhalation.
