I have swallowed something hard through water unknowingly, i feel it in esophagus.what are the possibilities that i can get rid of it?

Depends: Most likely this item has passed through your esophagus. Any residual sense of fullness or the sense that something is still there may be due to the item causing some trauma as it passed resulting in some swelling and irritation. If you are having trouble swallowing liquids or solids that may be a sign that the item is still trapped in the esophagus.
