What Should Be Done After Choking On Food Item?

Inhaled a tortilla chip, while coughing, into I presume my windpipe. Been stuck near the bottom just where my rib cage starts for several hours. Tried coughing (which isn t hard since I m sick and already have a good cough.), swallowing heavy meat to try and move it, massaging and rotating neck. Running out of options. It hurts when I look up and turn my head back and forth. Do I need to go to a doctor?

If you are feeling uncomfortable or suffocated, not breathing properly, then you should show up in emergency room.

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