How to remove food stuck in the epiglottis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Self cleaning: If you have a feeling of food stuck in the epiglottis, it is likely something other than food. Epiglottis would clean itself by inducing cough and swallowing. If the feeling persists, please see your doctor for an examination.
