Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

Brief answer - Foreign Body Aspiration

As per your query you had swallowed a lemon seed accidentally and now its struck in your throat which gets invaded in wrong path and not finding its way to excrete out and causing obstruction there, which is definitely a major cause of concern. That lemon piece acting act foreign body in that area and its accumulating microorganisms there and causing blockage.

I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist otolaryngeolist as early as possible to get fibro-optic scan done for this. With the help of fibro-optic tip a minor invasive procedure will eliminate it from your throat. Need not to panic about it, stay in peace.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
