Go back to doctor: Post obstructive polymicrobial necrotizing pneumonias can follow aspiration of foreign bodies, and the symptoms may be minimal at first. But this can develop into a serious problem. Make notations of all of your symptoms, take your temperature several times, and bring the info with you when you see your doctor.
