How To Remove Food Stuck In Throat?
i believe to have lodged a small piece of steak in my throat at dinner last night 8pm -- i have discomfort but do not have a fever or feel dizzy. I cannot swallow water or my saliva without bringing it back up instantly -- any home remedies I can try prior to calling a physician -- I tried Tums to no avail as they came right back up as well...6'4 male 43yrs old 250lbs -- this has happened to me before a couple of times but has never lasted this long.
