48HoursNotJustTVShow: Then you probably did swallow something sharp. Like a piece of bone.Question is,what does it feel like now? Feel like something stuck in there when you swallow? And hasn't gone away in 24-48 hours?Feel the need to spit anything up?Stomach ache?Strings of sausages coming out the other end?Well, forget that one. Bottom line: any pain or problem swallowing after about 48 hours should be investigated.
