A foreign body such as chewing gum in the lung can cause infection.... Yu are lucky that it hasn't blocked your airway... It can be removed with rigid bronchoscopy.... Lady Hardinge medical college is a very good place for it and the treatment is free of charge... We used to do bronchoscopy on a regular basis when I was there.... Take care....
