Trust me you'd know. Your lungs are very sensitive organs and respond to foreign objects by trying to expel them. The most effective of which is the cough reflex. An you would be coughing quite a lot. Not to mention at the end of the main bronchial tube before it branched off to the right and left lung is the carina. This area is so sensitive that when fluid and secretions are moved up and out of the lungs and touch that spot it automatically triggers a cough. Hope this helps.

In person, a doctor can listen with a stethoscope or take an x-ray. Over the Internet, I can' do anything to help.

you would be coughing a lot, and if you're talking about serious pneumonia--either from breathing something in or an infection-- you would have trouble breathing, and pain when you breathe in. getting a chest x-ray shows if you have pneumonia.
(pneumonia literally means stuff in your lungs, it doesn't just refer to the respiratory infection we usually think of as pneumonia)
