What Are The Repercussions Of Accidently Swallowing A Chicken Piece?
While eating supper I was eating a piece of chicken and due to recently having oral surgery and now wearing dentures I am unsure if I swallowed a piece of chicken or not...when swallowing something sharp scratched my throat...I immediately tried drink lots and it didn t feel stuck but I was wondering when I should see a doctor.

Hello,
If you swallow a piece of chicken your esophagal mucosa gets traumatized or scratched. An inflammation is formed and you may feel discomfort for some days. It will go away by itself and no treatment is needed.
Try to eat slowly other times, eat small portions and take time to chop it properly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
