Is It Possible to Inhale a Small Object And Not Know? Posted: 01-16-06 12:58pm
Ok, so I have my lip pierced and was
wearing a retainer (a small, about 1/3
inch) plastic thing shaped like a golf
tee. I coughed and it came loose (in my
mouth) and I think I inhaled it (as I was
drawing in breath between coughs). Though
I may have just, i'm hoping, swallowed it.
I don't feel anything, any sense of
anything lodged in my respitory tract.
Would I even notice?
