Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to either the plastic stuck in the throat or due to trauma to the soft tissues in throat caused due the plastic.
Kindly consult an ENT specialist & get it removed before it causes further damage.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with administration of analgesic anti-inflammatory medications, antihistamines & antibiotics (to prevent secondary infection)
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
