Suggest Treatment For Blockage In Throat

About 20 minutes ago, I believe I may have swallowed s fragment of a chicken bone (I was eating wings). I coughed up some fragments of chicken and am able to swallow water and tea. No ppain, but it still fells as though something is there. No problems breathing

Is this a medical emergency?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to swallowing chicken bone there has been laceration or injury to the throat mucosa leading to discomfort and feeling of something struck in throat..
In case if you are able to swallow without any discomfort then it does not seems that anything is struck in throat..
I would still suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
It is necessary as in case if anything is really struck in throat it can go into wind pipe and cause breathing obstruction or can act as foreign body and cause infection..
As of now you can eat more of solid foods like banana, bread etc so that if anything is struck in throat it may go down with food..
Drink plenty of water..
In case if there is pain you can take Tylenol or Advil..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
