food cannot get into your lungs but any liquid can.
and yes if it could it would produce mucus. but only if it irritated the mucus membrane which is very unliukely.
is the patient in any pain?
does he/she sleep well?

It is possible for your lungs to produce mucus in response to an unwanted object in the airway. This may create pain, coughing, shortness of breath.

If you were to get food into your lungs, you would be coughing hysterically and would most definitely notice. Rarely will something in the lungs result in little (mucus) to no symptoms.

Food can't get down that far. You have plenty of safeguards to prevent it. Food can get in the way of your breathing passage, but not down as far as your lungs.

there is a flap that prevents food from goin in your lungs. I think it would be painful if you had food stuck in there.
