Question

What will cause when food enters the windpipe?

Answer 1

When a person gets food caught in his windpipe, his natural reaction is to start coughing in an attempt to dislodge the food and return it to the esophagus.This usually occurs when a person accidentally inhales food by unknowingly relaxing his mouth and throat muscles.
It is common for a person who has inhaled food to experience the sudden inability to breathe or talk.This is because the body immediately responds by closing the voice box so that no additional food can enter the trachea. There are instances when coughing does not work and actually causes the food to become further lodged in the windpipe, causing a person to choke.
It is possible for food particles to make their way into the lungs even if a person is able to clear most of the food that entered the trachea. The presence of food in the lungs can lead to infection
