Hello

Welcome in H.C.M.

I have gone through your query regarding a piece of food struck in your throat.

As you have told that you are not able to remove it by gargling, coughing etc therefore it will become now necessary to consult your ENT doctor for endoscopic removal of struck food otherwise there are chances of it getting slip and may block the air way.

Regards.
