What Causes Felling Of Having Food Stuck In Mouth?

Today at lunch I suddenly felt like I had a small piece of food stuck in the left side of my mouth under the tomsil area. It is now several hours later and I still feel like something is stuck in there. I have gargled, drank lots of water and tried to poke it out, but nothing has worked. I m not in any pain, but it s really concerning to me.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
There are so many sites where food sticks and stores in oral cavity,sometimes behind the last molar, tonsillar fossa, sides of teeth .
Maintenance of Hygiene is very important. Simple gargling and twice brushing can be done to remove this sticky food particles.
If you feel that food lodgement is persistent and occurs immediately after you ate something, You should visit a dentist.

Don't worry you would be fine
Hoping your query is solved.
