Scratched The Troat, Irritation In Soft Tissue. Is It Because Of Swallowing A Chip?

Swallowed tortilla chip wrong... feels lije its still in the back of throat... tried eating bread, drinking liquids... hot and cold to soften the chip... feels like its caught on something... tonsil? In a pocket in the throat region. What should I do? Will it go down on its own? Did I irritate the soft tissue by possibly scratching the throat?

Hi,

Rinse your throat with water with a little soda bicarbonate or salt many times (as you were doing "gar-gar").

Hope it helped!
