‘Cancer lump’ turns out to be a clove stuck in lung

NAGPUR: A nice laugh with family is always considered a good medicine but sometimes it may turn into a life and death situation. A young woman from Indore was chewing clove when she laughed loudly and the clove accidentally entered her windpipe. What followed was some general coughing, some water and throat-clearing exercise and everything was normal.

Never in her wildest dreams did the woman imagine that the clove will pose the biggest nightmare to her seven years after this incident.

Gradually, she started experiencing weight loss, and occasional sputum bleeding. The doctors conducted CT scan and found a lump and pneumonia developed in the lower left side of her left lung.
