Burger Piece Stuck In Throat, Constricted Esophagus. Treatment?
I got a piece of burger stuck in my throat a couple days ago (not sure if it's the bread or tomato causing the problem) and have only been able to swallow small amounts of food since. I have a constricted esophagus and this has happened a couple times before where I had to go to the hospital. Anything I should try before resorting to having it surgically removed?
