Suggest Remedies For Feeling Of Something Stuck In Throat Post Food Intake

I swallowed a chicken bone yesterday at dinner and it is stuck in my throat. It's driving me crazy! I've tried all kinds of things to dislodge it. Like eating rice, bread, banana, apple, crackers with peanut butter, olive oil, gargling with vinegar, swallowing a raw egg. Nothing seems to be working. What should I do?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of feeling of something stuck in throat post food intake which can happen many a times. Need not to worry as this is very common problem and there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like :-

- Acid reflux ( GERD) .
- Esophageal web or ring .
- Foreign body entrapment
- Tonsillitis .
- An object or food.
- Esophagitis .

I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles , eat soft food and eat 1-2 bananas . If condition doesn't get better then consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may examine with laryngoscope , CT scan and examine physically . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics at least for 5 days along with anti inflammatory .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
