A member asked:
I accidentally inhaled a singular rice into what i think was my windpipe. i didnt cough, gag, or feel like i was choking but i assume thats because a rice is so small and probably wont block the airway. does that mean the rice is stuck in my lung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The rice may have been swallowed. Not likely to cause any problems. If you develop respiratory symptoms, please see your physician.
