A doctor has provided 1 answer

Choked on salt: Hi Gregory626, Rock Salt (NaCl) is fortunately part of the bodies chemistry and so in all likelihood, when encountering water inside the lung, will dissolve. It depends on the size.The larger the piece the more likely it would be to act like a foreign body. FBs in the lung can cause problems, even peanut size. If you develop symptoms like, cough, pain in one area, short breath, see a MD thanks
