[Click here for an update from Probaway for coughs related to Covid.]
Inhaling food or liquids can be very annoying and dangerous and it’s a good idea to learn this coughing technique for when you just happen to have a serious problem. Most of the time people just cough when they have gotten something down their windpipe and it clears immediately. It is very serious when people inhale a chunk of food which gets stuck in their windpipe and that requires another person to do the Heimlich maneuver to clear it out, or they die of suffocation. But, what I am proposing here isn’t for that type of instantly life threatening problem. Rather, it’s for a slower type of also life threatening problem, that of having stuff down into your lungs and not coming out which can cause an infection, which might turn deadly. This technique is for clearing small pieces of material or liquids that have gone so deep into the windpipe or even into the lungs that they refuse to come out with an ordinary cough. Basically this is a method for vibrating the windpipe to loosen bits of material stuck there. It’s different than an ordinary cough which is a compressed bolus of air being rapidly expelled and creating a forceful wind which usually dislodges and expels the offending stuff. This proposed technique is a more continuous shaking than a cough.
When you get something in your lungs try this. Stand up and place your feet wide apart, then lean forward to where your body is in as far over toward a horizontal position as you can easily do. It helps to place your palms on the top of your knee caps to support yourself in this position. Then slowly take a deep breath and exhale it quickly, in about one second, which is about as fast as the air will go out. While doing this, close off the upper part of your throat like you are going to cough, or even do a slight cough to get the vibration started. The goal is to create a deep vibrating sound with your deep throat. The sound is created by the vibrating of the deeper tissues far down your throat near your lungs. It is about 15 vibrations per second which is a little faster than the fastest you can vibrate your hand back and forth. Try doing this with your chin well up, then move it to a closer to the chest position and you should be able to find a place where this deep vibration occurs. It will take a little experimental practice to find your own position and tone. Breathe in slowly between these vibrating exhalations taking over five seconds and when you get dizzy from breathing too much take a half minute break.
The goal of the procedure is to shake loose anything that is deep in your windpipe with the vibrations and then to expel it with the wind. This procedure seems to get down to deeper things than just a standard cough. The horizontal posture keeps anything which is dislodged from falling back into the lungs. Also, in my particular body it is easier to get the vibrating tone in the horizontal posture.
Listen to some soothing Throat Chakra Meditations but none of these is quite what I have in mind because as deep and vibrating as these Tibetan inspired notes are they aren’t the deep vibrating you can get with the above noted procedure. That vibration isn’t so much in the throat as in the lungs. It isn’t really a note so much as a shaking of the trachea. It will take a movie to demonstrate and a neologism to keep it separate from Tibetan throat singing and a separate term to disambiguate the technique. The new word could be something like trakeshake, a fusion of the words trachea and shake. Perhaps it sounds too much like Shake n Bake which is probably a trademarked name. There may already be an existing word for this but I haven’t found it. There is a similar physical response and term for a horse curling its lip and making a particular sound. That’s called flehmen and is sometimes called a horse laugh. The hacking cough is a little different because although it is a deep cough it is a single shake. The deep trakeshake is unique and takes a lungfull of air and vibrates the trachea several times.
Clear inhaled food with a hurling-hacking cough called a trakeshake.

TY very much, this helped clear a raisin that was giving my problems after several days of pain and considering a trip to the doctor.
Danny said:
Hey, I have a raisin stuck in my windpipe right now also! Can’t get mine out though, not sure what to do:(
Bruce said:
Me too! A yellow raisin. Had it since Wednesday, can’t tell if it left me in a good sleep cough and now I’m just with the wrinkly imprint of it on my windpipe or if it’s just still actually in there. Thoughts? It still bother me a lot.
Joshua Way said:
Not a raisin and I’m not quite sure what it is but it’s been stuck in there for over a month. Felt it fall down my trachea and that scared the absolute shit out of me because I was sure it would going to suffocate me. Try to imagine something slowly falling down your airway, it’s hard to do. It would make it harder to breathe and so I couldn’t stop coughing.
Cheryl said:
Thank you! My mom just dislodged a small piece of broccoli that she’s been trying to cough up for two hours!
stevalia said:
I almost drown eating broccoli, at my sister’s home at Christmas time. I must learn not to scoff my food, something I always have done until that happened. Breathing exercises are cool for many health problems, gets rid of colds very quickly, but that’s another thing.
Yesenia said:
I inhaled a piece of brocolli and my neck feels a little stiff in that area. If I can cough normally, does that mean I’m okay or should I worry?
Also, I tried doing the cough but I keep gagging instead. Help?
probaway said:
If this form of coughing didn’t get it out, you should go see a doctor, because junk stuck in your lungs can cause a serious problem.
Yesenia said:
Does it take a while for problems to arise or should I seek immediate help?
Joshua Way said:
Yesnia seek immediate help bro. I’m in the same position where I’m not only worried about dying I’m worried about whether my concerns are going to be taken seriously. For me it’s been about 6 months and I still got something stuck in my trachea. No one seems to care. Doctors seem to see it as a greater burden on them than on the victim. All I can do is cry and admit defeat.
Tommy said:
I got a nut stuck please help
Frank said:
Stuck where? What type of nut? Peanuts are smooth whereas walnuts are more irregular and bumpy. With luck it’s a hazelnut. Nice and round.
Michael said:
That worked so fast! Thanks so much! How come no medical site offers this solution? I kept searching and searching til I finally found your site! Ahhhh so much better! : )

Thank you so much! Got it out :)
Lynn said:
I got a small rice stuck in my windpipe, I have been trying for hours to get it out but couldn’t please help
Kathy said:
Hi Lynn,
Were you ever able to get it out? I’m also struggling to get a small rice out of my lung. Maybe I’m not focusing my out breath enough in my lungs but I sound pretty similar to the man in the video. I mean if the others could work out raisins, I would imagine a small rice would be easier to get out. Did you have success? Any suggestions?
Kathy said:
Hi Lynn, kath again.
I got it out! If you still have the small rice stuck, I just used the breathing technique plus Lina’s suggestions from the post below. Basically I kept myself inverted with my legs up parallel to the wall then I inched a large cushion under my back and but so that my lungs were pointing down and my head was the lowest point. Then I did a combo of the breathing and slapping my chest- left side then right side, left then right while exhaling quickly. I think that jiggles things up in the lungs a bit and then I turned over in cat cow position and did more of the exhaling while hitting my chest. Then I had to bring Hubby in to rap on my back and shoulder blades. Not sure if it was effective but I figured I wanted things up my throat and out my mouth and so banging my lungs in that general direction would help it out. About twenty minutes of hacking and chest and back slaps and inversions, along with trying to jump and down (I was so exhausted by this point), I made this strange cough and felt a little pop! And up came a little piece of the small rice! I’ll keep working on the rest and keep you updated. I think the most important thing is to keep things moving in there. Get it going and agitated so much that it doesn’t have time to settle and form that bacteria.
Best of luck to you

Kallisto said:
This 2010 article keeps being a lifesaver! I inhaled a piece of shredded beef, really felt it falling deep down the windpipe. I used this technique with a little modification: I would stand bending over for a little bit and then, as I would get dizzy, I would lay down on bed, either flat, or hanging over the edge, and kept deep-coughing. Keeping as horizontal as possible and pushing your breath out with your stomach provide additional help. After about an hour I felt the meat moving back to the area where it fell through. At this point I could lay on my side and alternate deep and normal coughing. Took another hour, but finally I am free! What a great relief. Thank you so much for the post.
Betty Luckey said:
Totally Impressed !
This was Very, Very Informative to Us.
Looked this up because My Hubby accidentally inhaled some medication pills taken with hot coffee.
Plus, he has COPD, which, compromised the situatin even more making it dangerous. He started to panic not being able to catch his breathe between coughs.
When I started reading the instructions about vibrating the trachea to him to calm him down and him taking his inhaler to ease his breathing. I, finally, got his attention to do the exercise of vibrating to loosen the pills.
Super idea of the video, (but, We had no sound). And, relating it to Tibetan Monks chants… He said that he felt a little silly doing the vibrational thing. So, I joined him to show support.
It’s not up yet but, at least, he’s breathing better… I’m still hopeful.
The other comments helped, Also.
Nadene Seisun said:
I just tried this technique as I had a small trace of nuts/seeds go down my windpipe. I managed to get some of the offending food out but still feel an annoying tickle in my throat. Could this be that there is more in there or that I have just irritated the trachea??
Michelle said:
Pulled tissue of of box fast because I had to sneeze. The corner of the tissue had a tear so that little corner piece was barely hanging on. Then I inhaled to cough and a that tiny corner of the Kleenex came off and sucked right down my windpipe. Yes, I’m freaked out….because I FEEL IT and this stuff isn’t working to get it up.

My mom just used this technique and it worked right away! Thank you so much! :D

I think an Omega-3 capsel got stuck in the wind-pipe and I tried this method. Even thou the capsel did not come out, other things got out. Or maybe it was the capsel, but in another form hehe.

Angela said:
I was by myself upstairs in my house and my airway was completely closed after accidentally inhaling an Excedrin. I was trying to get my husbands attention, who was downstairs, by jumping up-and-down on the floor as hard as I could to get his attention because I could not breathe or yell or anything.
It seemed that the hard jumping and slamming of my feet down on the floor while bending over, dislodged the pill and I was able to breathe normally.
Lina said:
I inhaled veggie broth in a bad way, this afternoon. Could not breathe in or out for 1/2 a minute, then attempted a more than usual amount of ‘horking’ (sorry) up to clear. I thought I had cleared well enough, then went on with my day.
I woke up at midnight, thinking my wee cold was turning into a flaming bronchitus, with a burning chest and gurgling breath. o.o Have been bringing up phlegm and some bits of veggie (I think), for past hour. Bent over running tap, and breathing wet air from hands under faucet, and rinsing deep back into throat all helping. Kneeling down in cat pose, laying inclined downhill on top of cushions on my back, laying on my side, slapping my chest, pushing on sides of ribcage, trying heimlich with a cushion on bannister, all while reverberating my cough. Also trying Angela’s jumping up and down, while bent over…
Doing so for more than an hour now, and think I have cleared about 90 %. Am getting so tired but think I should carry on as now I know the tiny bit of food residue will continue to cause infection. Laying on my front with a pillow jammed under my centre rib area in also helping at the moment, while I type. Am almost there, phew, this is work. :p
Thank you for this posting. :)

Skeptical at first, but willing to do anything to get out the “little bit of water” I inhaled that was bugging me for hours. It took some real practice so stick with it—-but OMG thank goodness I saw this—all the water and the mucus that was attaching/attached to it—OUT!!! Thank you!

1+1=2 is true in the special case of mathematics. 1+1=2 is not always true in other cases.I think the question begs investigation, because science likes to extrapolate the mathematical principal to non-mathematical applicaiton, through theory. It does work most of the time, but still no one knows what is north of the north pole (as Stephen Hawking Asks).We never will know either, because our point of reference is always 1,1,1.

Thank you so much, choking and scared not able to breathe and my kids found this and played it for me, it helped me breath a bit better, so not as scared thank you!!! It helped me and them, could have. Been very traumatic for them but it ended with them saving their mom and the day. Truly blessed…
Shari McIntyre said:
After going through a bronchoscopy to remove an inhaled peanut a few years ago I learned that when you have had this happen it is likely you may repeat it. a week ago I did. The xray this time showed no pea but pneumonia in my lower lobe of my lung. I started antibiotics but was haunted by the feeling that I had waited 5 days to get the xray and there was a pea covered by infection still there. I was right. After 2 days of antibiotics and rest I woke up and started coughing so hard and long I was dizzy. Then out flew the pea. While I had not seen your post til this am I will be better prepared if it happens again. Thank you!

Nice post. I learn something tougher on different blogs everyday. Most commonly it is stimulating to learn to read content using their company writers and exercise a specific thing there. I’d would rather use some with all the content on my own blog regardless of whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide a link in your web weblog. Thank you for sharing.
Julio Atehortua said:
I happened upon this page as I scarfed down my sandwich so fast I inhaled some small bits. This was amazing advice and worked! But allow me to help with some clarity to make this much easier:
*** This deep cough is the same one you do when you puke ***
When throwing up, you’ll expel your stomach contents in a gut-wretch, then immediately follow with an involuntary deep cough. That cough is identical to what this article is describing. In fact, leaning over the bowl and doing this cough made me puke, which in turn made me do the cough more. And that finally dislodged the chicken sandwich bits I wolfed down so fast.
Thanks!!!!

I am an avid Lego enthusiast and I have a nasty habit of sucking on pieces absentmindedly while working on my projects. This morning I was working on my current pet project, my Arc de Triomphe 1:150 scale replica (I’m working through national monuments of WWII powers) and sucking on what I thought was a 2×4 that was actually a plate 2×4 with two plate 2x2s stuck to the top. If you know anything about Lego, Lego and water do not mix (my spit being the water in this case) and the pieces fell apart in my mouth. Long story short, the surprise of this happening led me to inhale sharply and one of the 2×2 plate pieces went straight down my gullet! Horrible! Luckily my sister Kate had seen this video and heard my raspy choking and pulled it up on her Samsung Galaxy 4s and I spent not more than 24 or 25 minutes with my hands on my knees exhaling forcefully and the piece just popped right out! Thanks so much!
Kathy said:
Oh my goodness! Ouch! A LEGO?! I’m so happy for you that you were able to get the Lego piece out without medical help! This technique is really amazing. It strikes me as very odd that it’s not more commonly taught to people! Choking is very serious. Especially with foreign objects like hard plastics. Thank goodness for your sister and thank goodness for this site!
Stephanie said:
So far I have been doing this for about an hour and a half and it is still not not out. It has definitely moved up my throat which is why I kept at it but the food is not quite out yet. And now my trechia hurts.
Soleil said:
Thank you. It worked for me. I inhaled a little jello and was able to cough most out but some bit of what I think was liquid remained. I couldn’t stop coughing and couldn’t get it out Your technique worked like a charm for me. I knew it had worked by the feeling of instant relief in my windpipe.
Deb said:
Thank you!! That pea was killing me.
Gene Delara said:
I am actually dieting in order to lose my belly fat and peanuts and not so much of tree nuts are my main snacks in place of the usual junk food. In the past I would have several issues with my throat from having dry pizza crust stuck in there for a week to my pharx getting swollen.Of course most recently I swallowed a fish bone to where it tore my throat muscles and then not chewing peanuts to where the bits accidentally got inhaled to where I felt them each time I breathe. Thanks to that awesome video, the nut bits have gone out and I feel much better. I am extremely self concious about my throat besides any other part of my body.

I had something in my trachea several years back that was causing bad breath and I kept doing a version of this in the shower and coughed up hardened whitefish chunk of something tat smelled horrible . Now I am having that same sensation of something lodged midway in my sternum and the bad odor is emanating once again from that area. I will be trying this routine again. I do have GERD and take medication twice a day recently though the sensation of food or something traveling up my windpipe has been more frequent.

I meant white colored chunk not whitefish.

Ellie said:
I’m so confused!!! how do you do the cough? I’m struggling
Andrew said:
Pretend like you’re puking and coughing. I can feel a nasty bubbling substance come up from my trachea and I just know it’s the pieces of food that gradually havery gotten stuck in my windpipe. It’s too late at night for me to do that kind of hacking but I certainly will tomorrow. It sounds like somebody who has acid reflux trying to cough it’s horrible lol. Please send prayers out for me, yourself, and others who are suffering from this and other chronic issues. God bless!

I am stunned and thrilled to have found this! I have a huge sleep-eating problem and woke up last night choking and coughing and covered in cookie crumbs. I knew right away that I’d aspirated and have been coughing all day. I searched around the internet, found this, tried this, thinking “no way”, but have actually been getting up some little hunks of cookie! I’m going to have to give it a rest until the morning, as my throat is hurting from all of this hacking I’ve been intentionally doing. I’m not coughing at the moment and am hopeful I’ve gotten it all, but am going to try again tomorrow anyway just to try to be sure and keep from getting an infection. And I will never, ever eat any more of those Christmas cookies!

probaway said:
When you are leaning over into the nearly horizontal position and doing the deep hurling hoarse cough hit the place with your open palm where the source of the irritation seems to be causing the problem. If it is a physical object that hitting might dislodge it. Not too hard a hit though, you don’t want to hurt yourself. A fist might concentrate the blow more effectively.

Thank you SO much, I had inhaled a pea on accident and this one wasn’t cooked so I had worries of reenacting the one man that had a pea in his lung and it ended up sprouting in the lung. I was SO scared.
But sure enough after not even 5 minuites I felt it just about where my epiglottis was and it was swallowed. Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of worry and a hospital visit!

Help I have a popcorn cornel in my left lung but I tried this cough but didn’t work. First time this has happened and I’m worried
Roxanne Wigglesworth said:
This worked for me. I inhaled a pea on a Tues. I could breath fine but could feel it in my upper chest. I kept doing this every day and was just about to go to the doctor when It came out….. on Friday. Yaaaay!!!.
Thank You so much!!
All the other web sites said see a Doctor and mechanical removal was necessary.
As a nurse, I could see why that would be recommended though. In elderly or sick people, they do not have the lung capability required to move something up and out.
Plus the type of object/ food and the weight and shape is a factor.
I was lucky in having pea….round and kind of light like a small ping pong ball!!

Hi. I was munching on potato chips when suddenly I felt like I had accidentally inhaled bits of chewed potato chips or more like, some of its powdered bits as I was munching on it – as a reaction, I kept coughing until I cried. I thought I was choking, so I drank a lot of water, but the feeling like something is stuck never went away.
I could breath fine, but it just felt like something, some of the chewed bits or perhaps the powder from the potato chips were stuck in my throat. I got so worried, I googled and found this website.
I tried doing the deep hurling hoarse cough a few times, but nothing came out. But after a few times doing it, it feels slightly better, but now it feels like I’m about to have a dry sore throat.
I just want to ask, the fact that i could do the deep hurling hoarse sound, does it mean that I have nothing stuck in my windpipe?
I hope the discomfort will be gone by tomorrow, if not I think I should keep trying.

Now I kept having small objects geting stuck in my windpipe. After this happend about 10 times i finally figured out THE BEST WAY TO GET SMALL OBJECTS DISLODGED FROM YOUR WINDPIPE. Now as werid as this sounds it really worked miracles for me considering just how anoying and discomforting it is to not be able to cough up something small stuck in tour windpipe. I would have stuff get sruck for days and it would drive me insane. But all you have to do is take the hose of your vacuum and cough into it and the vacuum (while its on obviously) and it will suck the object right out. Just make sure its somewhat clean. But i promise it works and it will save you a trip to the doc.

What about using an inversion table trying different angles? You’d have to be facing down of course. I tried it doing a headstand and doing this low coughing but couldn’t hold the position long enough. The top of my head felt like it was flattening. Use a LOT of cushions if you do this or maybe see if someone can stuff some support under each shoulder. Maybe a large exercise ball might work as well. Just lie on it and roll til you get the right angle. Maybe gargle some water or just hold it in your mouth (if you don’t want to swallow it) to lubricate your throat because coughing for a long time is very hard on your throat. “Yes doctor, good news. I dislodged the food but wore a hole in my throat. What IV system do you recommend?”

People in my area are oblivious to the fact that shampoos that grow your hair fast (obviously with no sulfates, no parabens or DEA) are even a thing. We all now may attain longer hair and achieve more possibilities. Surely worth looking up.
If you’re talking about alopecia, damaged hair, preventing hair disorders, hair growth, hair and scalp care more often than not, almost the same rules become relevant.
Generally, you will want to avoid hair treatments and products that include chemicals like parabens, DEA and sulfates.
What’s healthy for your hair is beneficial for your skin all the same.

This is gross but I drank too much diet coke, burped and inhaled some soda and probably stomach acid and then had to cough it out. By now my neighbors are probably freaking out thinking I have covid or something. Of course, I have asthma so it makes it even harder but it worked for the most part. Thank you.

That quick video of the man in Hawaiian shirt might have just saved my husbands life. Thank you so much for making this short, straight to the point video demonstrating. My poor husband had inhaled some crab at our Father’s Day feast and he could not cough it out of his lungs, he was laying on the couch in defeat, unable to fully breathe when I started researching what to do. So glad we found that video. I showed him and he immediately got up and started the breathing technique and instantly started throwing up. Within about 3 minutes he got the chunks out of his lungs!! I am so relieved. He is all better now, thank you so much for this video Mr cute old man with the Hawaiian shirt 💙
Chris said:
Hey! So I inhaled a tiny bit of fish skin and I have never been so close to choking in my life. I was wheezing and gasping for breath and my husband thought he would have to call an ambulance. I coughed and hacked and wheezed until I was finally able to resume breathing, but I could feel it stuck down there. I could feel it in my trachea and it kept threatening to come back up and choke me again. I used this technique over the toilet and expelled two little bits of food… saw them come up. I still feel a slightly annoying sensation back down there, ,and I’m not sure if it’s because I need to expel more or have just seriously irritated my throat with all the hacking, coughing and carrying on! Either way, I will continue to use this technique until I don’t feel anything at all anymore, and just wanted to thank you for publishing this! It is a real life saver. I am a certified lifeguard and they should teach this technique, as opposed to only the Heimlich maneuver!
