I inhaled a small piece of turkey and can't cough it up. this isn't something that will really hurt me is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Turkey: meat is a protein and will probably not hurt you unless its large enough to block a section of your lung and iut then becomes a "foreign body" which can produce a reaction! Speak with your Primary Care provider who may want some tests (xrays) or may want to refer you for further evaluation/ hope this helps!
