Suggeet Remedy For Prongs Stuck In Throat

I was eating my dinner with a plastic fork and one of the prongs broke off. I can feel pain in my throat it felt like it was stuck in there, I m not sure if it s still there or how far down it is now. But I can feel discomfort and more of a sharp pain when swallowing. I can breathe but deep breaths cause discomfort,pain. I ve been trying to drink lots of water. Is there anything else I should do?

Thanks for your reply. I have gone through your query.
The pain can be because of the prong which might have eroded the gastrointestinal tract or it can be because of the stuck prongs in the gastrointestinal tract. Consult a gastroenterologist immediately and get it evaluated. You need to get an endoscopy done to confirm the diagnosis. If it is stuck in the tract, then it needs to be removed.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
