What To Do For The Piece Of Food Which Got Stuck In The Throat?

I ate a peace of chicken breast and after swallowing it, I feel that there is a small peace stuck in in my throat. I tried driinking hot coffee, swallowed a big peace of banana and the feeling of clutching in my slightly right of my middle chest is still there. Its been two days now and it feels likethe peace of chicken is still there. The feeling is diff. from heartburn. Im beginning to think I ate it so fast that it went the wrong way instead of my esophagus or it may be stuck in my airway. However i dont feel any obstruction in my breathing. I can breath fine. Whats going on my throat,..please tell me what to do.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If there was a hard and large piece of chicken struck in throat it looks like it has injured your throat and also food pipe while moving down causing pain and a feeling of something still stuck in chest. If it would be still present then it would have caused difficulty in swallowing anything as well as at times it could also cause problem in breathing. So it looks like the pain is due to the injured food pipe lining and not like it is still present struck in throat or food pipe. So my suggestion is to once get it checked by an Emergency doctor so that he can use a scope to check your throat and food pipe. Also you should take painkiller like Ibuprofen that you can dissolve and drink and see if the pain gets reduced. Also eat more of cool and bland foods and take plenty of fluids. Eat banana and also bread and milk so in any case if anything is struck it will go down. But getting checked once is really important.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
