Suggest Remedy For Feeling Of Food Stuck In Trachea
i m googling aspirated foods for days. A few nights back i was eating too quickly, large bites of a baked potato...i acually felt like i inhaled it and it flew down wrong. I feel like it was literally in my lungs/chest for the past nights/days. Don t feel well and am wheezing. Today i woke feeling like my neck is a tad swollen and feels like a big lump is in it. have been ressed for the e.r. all day but thinking i am fine. was going for a chest/neck x-ray and don t know if i should bother. but feel discomfort still

Morning dear,
Firstly you have to evaluate where the food is getting stuck.A few common places are food pipe(esophagus) and a abnormal diverticulum in food pipe etc.That needs to be evaluated by a swallow test called Barium swallow.it will show how your food is going down and will lead to possible treatment.
