General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

You are having the feeling of a peeled silver of carrot stuck in the back of the throat. Presently, you are trying to cough and it is not coming out. You can breath normally but you have discomfort. You should take sips of water or green tea slowly. You can gargle your throat with warm salt water to help it come out.

If you have the same feeling you are suggested to get clinically examined by an ENT, you may have to get X-ray done if required. The treating doctor will detect the stuck apple peel and remove it. Do not ignore and do not try to be forceful with yourself as it may worsen the symptoms.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
