Question : Lemon seed stuck in throat / wind pipe??

Answered by Dr. Sumit Bhatti (27 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Highly unlikely unless you have symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Having a lemon seed stuck in your throat is unlikely.

2. If the seed is stuck in your wind-pipe, violent coughing, vomiting or breathlessness will result.

3. A Chest X-ray and a simple Video Laryngoscopy will settle the issue.

4. Many a times it is the abrasion that is felt as the seed passes through.

If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.

Regards.
