Hi,
Noted your short history of feeling of something stuck on right side of throat after eating rice, bothering every time you swallow, wants help. The commonest cause is an actual swelling in the said area that cause the feeling of something in throat and there may not be any foreign body in throat as rice or so does not get stuck in such a way.
In fact trial at home by putting fingers to remove or taking anything that family and friends suggest can cause more harm.
The resultant edema can cause the feeling that you had. This can be confirmed by ENT Endoscopy and upper GI Endoscopy to have proper diagnosis, removal of foreign body if present and watch for edema. Further medical treatment for edema will solve your problems. Do not try anything at home at this actually causes more harm.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
