How To Remove Ingested Plastic From The System?

Last night while eating a burger king cheeseburger I found a piece of clear plastic in the burger after I had eaten over half of it. It feels like a piece of it is caught in my throat. Only feel it when I swallow. Can t cough it up or drink or eat it down. What can i do to get it out or down?

Hi ! Thank you for posting your question here .

What I understand from what you write , you don't have problems while you are eating ( like the food stuck in your throat )or breathing right ? If not ,is something not to be worried about , the platic may be in the beginning of the esophagus .

Eat pieces of bread ( bolus without the hard part) repeat it several times or seni-liquid like yoghurt or milkshake, will go to take the plastic to the stomach and after that the pieces will loose with the stools.Sometimes you will have the feeling of something in the throat but will go away.

Wish these help.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.
