This post on behalf of friend .She inhaled a piece of popcorn a week ago .Major choking .Pain. 111 advised A&E .Had blood tests inc arterial for oxygen levels.Prescribed penicillin in case she had aspirated and piece in lung .
She's still in pain and burping a lot which is unusual for her .Has been in contact with GP who has prescribed omeprazole .
I was trying to reassure her yesterday that the pain was probably from a bit of trauma where the popcorn got stuck .But today I'm thinking what if it's still stuck ?
Will it gradually disintegrate and be ok ? If it's in her windpipe rather than gullet will that be ok ?
Any thoughts ?
