After Eating A Hot Dog Experienced Choking
I swallowed a piece of hot dog, and I feel it stuck in my epiglottis. It feels like it starts to come in my throat so I can swallow it correctly, but as soon as I swallow it goes back where its stuck. What should I do? How can I dislodge it, and is it harmful being in this throat cavity?

There is no way out where you can remove it yourself.
Irs better you meet a ent specialist , and with endoscope they will remove it.
Hope my answers have helped you.
