SKL Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Gross topic, I know. Celery, of all things! Seems like it would last forever in the lungs. Is there such a thing as Celery Lung Poisoning? I can feel it in there, but I can't make it come out. Coughing hard just makes me lose part of my lunch. This is definitely Karma for my making fun of that poor, defenseless flying squirrel in a toilet a few weeks ago . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lara in Colo Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I would try coughing while being upside down as much as you can. Let gravity be your friend. Breathe in slowly and cough as forcefully as you can. I am not certain, but I don't think it will just be absorbed into your body, I think you have to see a Dr to get it out.

Mergath Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'd go to the ER and see if they can do something. They're pretty good about that "not an emergency but can't wait until Monday" stuff. I scratched my eye really bad once, and the ER docs were great about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea1 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think i would go to the ER also. I have had pneumonia twice and I would not want to risk it turning into something big. Try that standing on your head thing for a little while and, if that doesn't do it, you might want to go to the ER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea1 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I was just searching this on the internet and they suggested seeking medical help. It can definitely turn into pneumonia. You might want to search on 'food in lungs how to get out' and read a bit. There might be a few things you can try before you have to seek help. I hope you are able to get it resolved quickly.

Woodhaven Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I'd go to ER if you can't cough it up. What an awful feeling! Hope you get it out of your lung soon!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Oh man, I'm such an idiot! Maybe it did come out and I just didn't realize it . . . . I'm going to a party with a bunch of doctors tonight. Maybe I will ask them if it's worth a medical look. Bah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Double post. I guess sometimes they don't tell you if your post posted or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
