Best Answer

Small inhaled objects such as dust and dirt are stopped by nose hairs, larger objects will be expelled by coughing. If a larger object lodges in the lung the cilia will try to move it out. If it is too large, it will become trapped in the lung or airway and can cause an infection which can be life-threatening. It should be removed, either by bronchoscope or opening the chest. Corticosteroids and antibiotifcs may help the symptoms, but will not resolve the underlying problem of a foreign object.
