Help! The other night I was laying in bed and took a puff of my albuterol inhaler. As my inhaler had been in my jeans pocket all day it had pocket lint in it. Stupid me did not check in the mouth piece and when I inhaled the medicine the lint went in with it. I immediately sat up and started coughing and vomiting uncontrollably. At the time, I thought I had gotten all the lint out of my lungs, but now I am not sure. The next day, I began to notice some tickling in my lungs. Now on the second day I am experiencing some lung pain. What I am afraid of is that there is some lint left in my lungs and if so what could that mean. Could I get pneumonia? Please help if anyone knows the answer.
