Something big like a chip stuck in your esophagus?
Hello everyone, I have a problem. Half an hour ago, I ate some chips and couldn't chew them properly (because of my braces). I swallowed the large piece. I hadn't drunk much beforehand. Now my question is, is it normal that it still hurts when I swallow? I also ate and drank a lot afterwards. I still have a strange feeling in my throat, like it's still stuck… My chest hurts a bit too. Has it moved further? I'm not sure and I'm starting to panic a little! Thanks in advance.
Since you’ve already eaten more, it’s unlikely that it’s still hanging somewhere. Your esophagus probably still feels weird because 1. the chip was angular (not dangerously pointed) and 2. You get in there.
If you drank enough, it softens and slides down automatically.
