Feeling Of Fry Being Stuck In Throat, Pain During Swallowing After Vomiting. Is This Concerning?
I eat a fry last night and it went down my windpipe. It hurts like something large is in my pipe but I can talk and breath. Do I just wait till it moves or do I need to have it removed? I did try coughing it up all last night but I ended up throwing up dinner but the fry is still stuck and hurting today. Please advise. thanks!

Hello,
You should get an ENT consultation done and get chest examination and X ray chest so that air entry in both side of chest can be checked.
Then you should get done a Fiberoptic bronchoscopy to check for the presence of foreign body .
As foreign body in windpipe will cause problem if not now may be few days later.
In doubt do reply
