Hi Dr., Since Last Night After Eating Dinner, I Have
Question: Hi Dr.,
Since last night after eating dinner, I have noticed something small seems stuck in my throat. I only notice it occasionally, as it causes a bit of pain if I yawn or take a large swallow. I'm not sure what it could be, but my guess would be a very small piece of an herb stem that perhaps splintered to get stuck in there.
I have had a meal since then, which I thought might dislodge whatever is there, but it doesn't appear that has alleviated the symptom.
Do you have any recommendation to get rid of it? It is not too bothersome, but I also don't want it to stay there forever.
Thank you in advance.
