Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Read your history and understood that you have a feeling of plastic from the Wendy's spoon getting stuck in the throat.

The following possibilies are:
Severe granular pharyngitis,
Actual stucking of the foreign body.

The only sure shot way to get a proper diagnosis is as follows:
ENT Endoscopy by an ENT Surgeon to ascertain the cause of your symptoms, remove the foreign body.
Rest of the treatment as per the diognisis.
