What should I do if I get a grain of rice in my windpipe?

Trachea into the rice particles can rely on the body’s own cough to cough out the rice particles, when you can not cough out can go to the hospital for electronic bronchoscopy to remove the rice particles.
The body’s own cough is a kind of reflex defense action, through the cough can be removed from the respiratory tract secretions or foreign bodies, when the rice particles from the vocal folds closer and with the tracheal wall adhesion is not close, it may be coughed up by itself.
When the rice particles enter the deeper bronchial tubes in the lungs and cannot be coughed out because of their close adhesion to the tracheal mucosa, electronic bronchoscopy is a reasonable method to remove the rice particles.
Electronic bronchoscopy is a thin bronchoscope inserted into the patient’s lower respiratory tract through the mouth or nose, passing through the vocal folds to enter the trachea and bronchial tubes and beyond, to directly observe tracheal and bronchial lesions, and to conduct appropriate examinations and treatments according to the lesions.
Therefore, when the trachea into the rice particles can not be coughed out need to go to the hospital in a timely manner to avoid delays in treatment.
