Suggest Remedies For A Feeling Of Chip Stuck In My Throat
Hi, I ate a chip and feel it is stuck in my throat. I threw up a couple times, but still feel something there. I have been drinking a lot of water and chewing gum to soften the chip up and get it down. Are there any other ways for me to get it down before heading to the hospital?

Hello
It is unlikely that a chip will get stuck in your throat , so please dont try to throw up and relax. It is more likely that the chip has scratched your throat and caused a swelling , which is giving rise to the sensation. Please dont worry and avoid hot and spicy food, take lots of water and you will be fine in 1-2 days.
Thanks
