A member asked:
I swallow a piece of plastic from a pen top , it feels like its still in my throat but im breathing good n its no pain , should i be worried ?

Most likely it: will pass without problems. Throat sensation is probably a scratch. If symptoms persist beyond a few days and the piece of plastic does not pass in your stool, consult your doctor.
