Suggest Remedy For Pain On Back Of Throat
I swallowed a small chicken bone at dinner. I only noticed as I felt it stab the back of my throat. I think it continued down with the rest of my food but I don t know for sure. It doesn t feel like it s still in my throat but how can I be certain? If it was stuck in any part of my throat would I know it?

Hello. Thanks for asking Healthcare magic. Dont worry it should not cause any damage to your throat. Solid food sometimes get stuck in the esophagus(food pipe) but there are very rare chances that it will cause any problems. If it was still in your food pipe you would have got some feeling of irritation. Relax and take plenty of fluids. It will be fine. Thanks
