Food in Trachea
Hi,
Yesterday while eating food, had to inhale air due to spicyness and a small grain of rice entered trachea. Had coughed up immediately. But not sure if whatever had entered the trachea had come out. But having little discomfort in throat from today onwards with little mucus. And little discomfort in chest when coughed up. Not sure if there is anything to worry.
Best Regards

If you are not sure that the the rice grain is sti there are not you need to go for a bronchoscopy.
But it will be needed only if you have breathing difficulties.
If u feel fine, don't worry.
Observe for any further symptom.
Next Steps
