Brief Answer:
Eat a full meal and force it down with more water as well.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

You can have a glass of coca cola or any carbonated beverage. Sometimes a piece of butter would soothen.
You can force it down with full moist meal also. There is no need to worry about the cherry pit and it is not poisonous as most people think.
The feeling of sticking in the throat would soon disappear as we wake up next morning.

Hope this helps.
