Can cause pneumonia: Aspiration of olive oil can cause Lipoid Pneumonia, which is an inflammatory reaction in the lung. If you don't develop a cough, shortness of breath or chest pain no treatment is needed. For symptomatic patients treatment is usually supportive. Chest x-rays will show findings of pneumonitis which may resolve over time. If you develop symptoms see your physician who will order a chest x-ray.
