How To Swallow Pecan Stuck In Throat?
I ate something with pecans in it and know I swallowed a pecan nearly whole and now it feels stuck in my throat. I can swallow but it just feels hung there. I have drank lots of water, eaten some bread but it feels stuck. I am tired and ready to go to sleep but I have this feeling at the back of my throat like it is just sitting there. Any advice?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the history related to eating pecans and your feeling of it getting stuck in the throat.
The only sure management is to have endoscopy and see if it is there or something else like edema, infection or mass due to your excessive trial to remove it caused the problem you are facing.
You also get a prescription of proper medication.
