How To Get Rid Of Food Piece Lodged In Throat?

hi, whenever the food particle or any hard object stucks in throat, the body's own mechanism tries to remove it by coughing. It does'nt stay there. If it stays in wind pipe, u will have chocking and inability to breathe. While it is held there and due to excessive coughing the lining in the throat get an abrassion and so you get a foreign body sensation till the time the lining gets healed on its own. I'll suggest you to take syp Mucaine gel 2 tsf three times daily for 5 days.
