Hello, bober11.
If you believe you have inhaled a small chewed up straw into your lungs, it is important to seek immediate medical attention. Inhaling foreign objects into the lungs can cause a blockage and lead to serious health complications such as pneumonia or lung abscess.
A doctor will likely perform diagnostic tests such as a chest X-ray or CT scan to locate the foreign object. Depending on the size and location of the object, the doctor may use a bronchoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, to remove it from the lungs.
Attempting to cough up the object yourself can be dangerous and may cause further complications. It is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you believe you have inhaled a foreign object.
