What Causes Discomfort In The Throat After Swallowing A Chicken Bone?

A small piece of chicken bone got stuck in my throat. I swallowed some bread and a raw egg and it seems to have shifted to the other side. It feels scratchy when I swallow, but I am breathing okay. is this a medical emergency or something that will generally resolve itself. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Do you still feel that it has stuck to your throat or feel discomfort while swallowing? If yes then go to ENT and he will do endoscopy where he can see clearly it is stuck and remove it. Its quite normal with fish bone and chicken bone but since its foreign object it needs to be removed.
