It seems a lot of people misunderstand that being declared “safe” doesn’t mean it’s effective and being declared “effective” doesn’t mean it’s safe.
For example: water is safe, but it’s not an effective treatment for a heart attack. And dying is an effective treatment for heartburn (it’ll stop it) but it sure as hell ain’t safe.
I accidentally inhaled maybe half a teaspoon of water the other day. Was coughing up mucus and even a little foam for like three days. I googled “am I in danger if I inhale a little water?” and it was like “you gon die muthafucka!”
But if I went to the ER every time google told me I was gonna die I’d be in so much debt.
Anyway I’m still here for now. I’m still coughing up weird globs of mucus at random moments.

It’s important to have both.
Heartburn and a heart attack?
No, no. Water and death, the two example remedies.

I fucking hate how expensive medicine is.
If it continues it may be cause for concern BTW
Could turn into some kind of lung infection which would be cause for concern
Maybe not ER but urgent care maybe?
IDK I usually go to the urgent care first because I’m a broke MF and the ER is expensive AF.
Yeah, I guess I’ll go. I do have Kaiser insurance now.
