HI
Well come to HCM
Although this could be medical emergency and need to taken out the foreign body if this is really being chock up in trachea, if you do not have any breathing difficulty or discomfort then this might not be anything in trachea, still to clear the doubt it is advisable to see visit the ER, hope this helps, take care.
