How To Treat The Feeling That A Lemon Chunk Is Stuck In Throat?
I was eating melon chunks this morning in a rush. Since then I have felt like one of the chunks are stuck in my throat. I am not having trouble breathing, eating, or swallowing but the feeling is becoming frustrating and is causing minor pain in my upper chest. What should I do to get it dislodged?

Hello,
There are very less chances of getting it stuck in the throat , as the food moves on with the normal movement of the food pipe if its not hard ie bony .
There had been a stretching in the throat and you have the stretching sensation and pain .
If still it is stuck you can take aerated beverages ie pepsi or coca cola or thumbs up or mirinda .
These aerated beverages will help the food to descend down .
In doubt do reply.
