Hi loretta,
If you have swallowed watermelon through larynx you would not have writing question in internet and waiting for answer, instead you would have been in emergency department, Dont worry i think food may be in pyriformfossa or in oesophagus so you are feeling like that, consult ENT surgeon for endoscopy.
Take care

If you have choked on watermelon or accidentally inhaled a seed into your air pipe, it will probably have been coughed out. What is your age? If any discomfort persists, please see a physician for chest auscultation and a chest X-ray. Food may not show up clearly on an X-ray but signs of the foreign body can be seen.
Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.Had you swallowed wrongly you would have severe coughing and choking.Since you are normal it means you have not swallowed any thing wrongly.Relax and forget it.Thanks and good luck.
