The real trick is to eat white rice!!!

Why are people laugh-reacting I was serious
Bread has worked for me.
Rice or soft bread. Something kind of sticky. If it starts swelling, go to the hospital—they’ll have to scope you & pull it out (been there). But try the above first & try to stay calm.
I had this happen with a small chicken bone one time and was convinced it was in my throat. Went to the doctor. The bone (or something) has scratched my throat and that’s what I was feeling, not the actual bone itself.
On the contrary, I’ve had 2 bones get caught & had to go to the hospital—once a fish (trout) and the other quail.
This reminds me of the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry David got a pubic hair stuck in his throat. I think it’s actually two episodes. You should watch that for ideas.
What the heck was he doing, flossing?
Bread should help, the bone is supposed to get caught in it... good luck !

Tangential fun fact: the tradition of serving lemons with fish came from the belief that the acid would dissolve any bones you swallowed
Please take this question to the fish bowl

I know an old lady who swallowed a spider..
I ate a banana once and it helped
Ohhhh yeaaahhh😏
Op - how are u now
Thanks guys. I’m alive... ate a ton of rice the last few days and I don’t feel any foreign objects in my esophagus anymore. I wish there was an easy gag-free way to self inspect the throat to be fully sure though.
Maybe some hot tea? I swallowed a cake decoration wire when I was a kid and came out ok! Your digestive system is surprisingly durable

Rice works. Eat some cooked rice and it will work. Tried and tested with fish bone and chicken bone
Eat a banana. That will do the trick.
Not to frighten you, but my mom ended up tearing her throat in a fish bone. Might be worth going to a doctor 🙇🏻♀️
BANANA I had one stuck in my throat really badly and the banana is the only thing that got it down
Yeah no chewing. Just swallow it whole.
This happened to me as a kid. It’ll feel irritated or that something is there even when not. Eating bananas helped clear it and helped smooth it.
Run a comb along your throat seven times (as if you're trying to brush it down from the outside).
OP: how did things turn out? Are you ok?
Hey yes I’m alive! Glad I didn’t need to go to any covid-infested emergency room lol.
You guys made some hilarious suggestions. I guess the rice trick worked. Ate a lot of Chinese food the last few days and the large gobs of sticky white rich prob pushed it down. Thanks y’all!
