Observe: This is a common occurence. Watch and if you begin to have a chronic cough, run fever, cough up discolored sputum or have pain or shortness of breath, you would need to be seen. If this is a small insect, the chances are it will disintegrate and be propelled out of the respiratory tree and coughed out or swallowed and with all bronchial secretions.

Agree with Dr. H: If you are not coughing, you are okay. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Wish you good health!
