A member asked:

Swallowed fluid down wrong hole. mouth was full of soda, felt like i had to cough it all up but forced it down. coughing a bit, am i gonna be okay???

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: This happens to all of us occasionally and the protective reflexes in the lungs cause us to cough hard and expel whatever dropped into the lungs.If you were sickly before, or didn't have a good cough response, you would begin having signs of an aggressive irritant pneumonia within hours.If you have settled down and feel okay, the issue is likely past.If you feel short of breath, go in for an exam
