What Causes Severe Choking In The Throat After Eating?

My friend was choking during dinner, but could breathe. We are home with him and he is still feeling as if food is lodged in his esophagus. I tried the hymlic as well as hot water. ANY water comes back up or phlegm. Amy suggestions before we take him to the ER?

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
If it is a single episode than you dont have to worry because everyone can be chocked with food. He needs some time to recuperate his irritated mucosa.
if it is repeated several times visit a doctor for fibroscopy.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
