Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have foreign object stuck in the throat which is stip of wraper and is acting as foreign body there and causes accumulation of bacteria and debris and giving you pinched sensation type feel and this bone has some hard and sharp thing that had gone inside giving small abrasion in food pipe. Do warm saline gargles to reduce the inflammation and eat soft food or liquid diet . If there is only abrasions then your symptom will resolve in 24 hours and you need not to worry about that. If you are having any foreign body in throat then your problem keeps on persisting and visit ENT specialist immediately. Go for fibro-optic scan and with the help of fiberoptic tip get that foreign object removed which is causing problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
