Posted on Fri, 12 May 2017
Question: Hi, I ate a orange on Sunday and swallowed the seed. It didn't hurt immediately but later it began to hurt. I felt something smart or sticking in one side of my thrust. It has been a week. Went to er and dr said it should be fine it may scratched. I just feel like it's there. My throat is sore but I can still eat and drink. I'm really scared. What are the chances it's stuck? So afraid. Also I have bad anxiety.
