What Should Be Done After Food Getting Struck In Throat For 8 Hours?
hello I have had a piece of food stuck in my throat for about 8 hours now. I can t get it to come up or go down. for the most part I can breath fine but I can t swallow anything. This has happened before but usually clears up after about 20 minutes. I don t know what to do at this point.

hello
8 hours is a long time and would strongly suggest that you meet your ENT doctor for examination and advice. also, since you have had these episodes before, you should get yourself evaluated as to find out why is it happening?
. please meet your doctor soon. thanks
