How To Remove Orange Seed Stuck In Throat?
I sucked a lemon seed through the straw in my water bottle and now it is stuck in my throat. What should I do. I am not having any respiratory problems. I can eat and drink without problems, but it does not seem to be affecting the position of the seed.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Brief answer - Foreign Body Aspiration
As per your query you had swallowed a orange seed accidentally and now its struck in your throat which gets invaded in wrong path and not finding its way to excrete out and causing obstruction there, which is definitely a major cause of concern. That orange seed acting act foreign body in that area and its accumulating microorganisms there and causing blockage.
I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist or otolaryngologist as early as possible to get fibro-optic scan done for this. With the help of fibro-optic tip a minor invasive procedure will eliminate it from your throat. Need not to panic about it, stay in peace.
Till the eat banana once or twice a day and do warm saline gargles . Do not suck any liquid forcefully .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
