I was eating shelled pumpkin seeds and had a piece get caught in my throat 3 days ago and it still feels like it's there....any suggestions?

Pumpkin seeds: The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you may indeed have a piece left in there, so best will be to visualize that area, typically done endoscopically and have it removed mechanically. If your symptoms seem to be slowly dissipating away it might be that your symptoms are caused by the local inflammation around the piece and that should go away by itself in few days.
