A student was left with a persistent cough after a piece of his jawbone became stuck in his airways following a car crash. The 21-year-old, whose identity is unknown, went to his doctor after he was confused by his four-month battle with a cough. Doctors were baffled when cough drugs didn't work and decided to conduct various medical scans to determine what was causing it. CT scans revealed a 'white and hard' material in his airways, which Japanese medics later discovered to be part of the man's fractured jawbone. Surgeons were able to remove the piece of material, which was lodged in his left main bronchus, using forceps.
