How To Clear Food Stuck In Throat Leading To Pain?

Hi,I swallowed a large piece of tortilla chip, and it got stuck in my throat. I ve tried a lot of water, very warm water, and a little bread. It hurts, and I ve been waiting for it to become soft so that I can swallow it completely. It still hurts, and while I feel a bit of pressure that feels like the chip, it does not feel as sharp as it did. It s been over 30 minutes.I cannot tell if it s still there or if what I am feeling is a chip-scratched throat. Is this something I should go to my doctor/clinic/ER for? I ve never made this mistake before, so I honestly don t really know what the best course of action is. Thank you.
