I may have aspirated bread because when i coughed 7 hours later a crumb came out. i am still coughing 18 hours later. it seems that the bread may be stuck in my lungs. what do i do to get it out of my lungs ?

Check temperature: The lung has defenses to remove particulate matter. Sometimes pneumonia may occur. If the cough persists, a fever occurs or you are having difficulty breathing, please see your physician.
