Why Do I Feel Plastic Wrapper Stuck In My Throat?
I was chewing a piece of plastic wrapper from my lolly pop and I breathed it in. I can feel it in my throat and it has been a day, when I cough it comes up and when I swallow it goes down a tiny bit. I cannot swallow it and I do NOT NOT NOT want to sick it up, what should I do? My mum says i've swallowed it down and I've just got a scratch in my throat but SHE IS NOT A DOCTOR. please help?

HI.
Feeling of a plastic wrapper in throat needs to be checked by endoscopy by an ENT Surgeon. He can see the whole area, if present he can removed it professionally without causing any injury. If it is not there and your felling is due to a wound inside he can show you this; and will prescribe medicines to cure this.
Go for a sift diet.
DO NOT try anything at home, it can cause more harm.
