MedHelp Member's Question

acid aspiration

by jim509, Jul 01, 2009 01:18PM

I accidentally aspired some stomach acid which came up (which tasted sour), and for a few seconds I couldn't breathe as the pipe closed.

I have read that acid aspiration can be serious.

What should I do? is it an emergency?

thanks
