Suggest Treatment For Stuck Chewing Gum Inside Throat
A chewing gum is stuck in my throat. I can feel it it and move it by pushing it from the outside of my neck. But it's still there. When I lay down it completely seals my throat. I can't even swallow my starch while laying down. I have to sleep now but I am not able to. Please help me solve this problem.

Thanks for asking in Healthcare Magic Forum
In short: Visit ENT specialist/Gastroenterologist
Explanation: If you are feeling that the gum is stuck in the throat and feeling difficult to swallow, it is better to consult your doctor and undergo endoscopy for removal of the gum(if present).
Dont waste the time trying different positions. If it is swallowed it would have gone out with the food after somedays. Good luck.
