How To Treat Throat Dysphagia?

I swallowed a small chicken piece yesterday accidentally. I don t know it s real size but I felt like it s just small and thin. I don t have any difficulty in breathing or any severe pain. Didn t do anything about it after. Didn t vomit or cough either. I took my next meals after that until today. I thought it will just go down and be digested. Now, I still feel like there s something in my throat. No severe pain or difficulty in breathing. But a day after the incident and I still feel it in my throat, should I be worried? What should I do? Please respond. Thank you!

HI, The imagined sensation of foreign body in the throat needs investigation as in maximum number of patients we see with the similar history turn out to be just Pharyngitis with granulation or lymphoid hyperplasia.

To make the things sure and simpler and to get the phobia out of the mind it is always advisable to get and upper GI endoscopy including the of pharynx be done.
