I have a piece of gym stuck at the back of my throat, it has been there for just over a week, is it serious? do i need to go to a doctor?

Yes, see a Dr: It may only still feel like it's there - but you would be wise to have an exam and follow directions. Be careful in the future when chewing gum. It's not 'serious' in that you will not die or suffer permanent damage, but it is uncomfortable. Take care!
