Hello
Thank you for writing to us on Health care Magic.
Based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
1. The melon would have passed through the throat and into pharynx and deep. But while passing, it could have hurt the throat mucosa.
2. This throat mucosa irritation, is being felt like something stuck in throat.
3. As you are able to eat and drink, there is no obstruction. This feeling of something stuck will be there for another 2-3 days.
4. You can try salt water gargling, it will be helpful. If there is any pain, you can take paracetamol. No other treatment is necessary.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
