How Can A Piece Of Plastic Chip Stuck In The Throat Be Removed?
Question: My 21 year old son said that a piece of pita chip got stuck in his wind pipe. His voice got scratchy, throat felt irritated and felt like it was stuck in his lungs. He drank a lot of liquids and just commode it all out. He seems a little calmer now but still feels major discomfort. We don't know what else to do.
