helloo...read thru ur query and accordingly i must say that our body has being superbly programmed to take food and anything in the throat to the stomach by various processes..so nothing to be worried...if at all if it still stuck there u would have been in hospital now due to difficulty in breathing or stomach pain etc..so be cool its gone down to ur stomach way before u thought about it..and now the feeling of it being stuck is due to ur mind still thinking its there its there...ignore it...its gone..still if u have doubt have large balls of rice and large banana..orange slices etc...drink lots of water and juices...be cool..if at all any uneasiness or pain or difficulty in breathing occurs meet an ent surgeon and get it treated..hope ur benefitted something from this reply...have a healthy day!!!
