Get checked: Possibilities include something still stuck, or some ongoing oesophageal injury from the plastic or a separate issue with similar symptoms such as reflux. Will need a doctors examination and possibly consideration of referral for tests such as gastroscopy (telescope examination of stomach and oesophagus). Recommend seeing a doctor for examination and to consider tests. All the best

Throat: If you have a foreign body stuck in your throat you need to see your doctor. He/she can remove it. It can be come infected or move and then you would have a medical emergency. Peace and good health.
