Could Swallowing A Hot Wing Injury My Throat?

While eating a hot wing I swallowed a piece of the chicken to quickly on accident. As I swallowed to push it down it scratched my throat. It hurts to swallow and it feels as though its still there. Throat has been sore for for 10 hours now. I can breathe just fine and I never choked or gasp for air. Should I be concern for my health and seek medical treatment immediately or will it pass

Hello,
The most important thing is whether the chicken piece was bone less or with bone.
It its bone less then it will go down . You can take effervesent drinks like pepsi or coke , it will help the chicken piece to go down.
It its with bone and you still have pain or difficulty in swallowing, you should get done x ray chest with abdomen standing to see for the position of the bone piece. If it is stuck inside then you should consult an ENT specialist to get it removed.It can be removed by endoscopy done under anaesthesia.
In doubt do reply.
