If a person gets food stuck in their windpipe, it can lead to choking, which is a medical emergency. Choking can block the airway and prevent oxygen from reaching the lungs, which can be life-threatening if not resolved quickly. Immediate action, such as performing the Heimlich maneuver or calling for emergency medical assistance, is necessary to dislodge the food obstruction and restore airflow.
