A member asked:
Why does it feel like there is a piece of food stuck in my throat. i took a bite that was too big and most likely swallowed too early to where it felt weird going down my throat. i didnt choke and i feel fine other than that feeling when i swallow?

The food may have scraped the wall going down leaving a slight wound. These can self heal over several days. If you have difficulty swallowing or other concerns your doc may be able to confirm this by exam. An ENT or GI doc can also evaluate the area if needed.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. You may watch and wait. If the symptoms are getting better, give it some time. If it is not improving you may see an ENT doctor. Wish you good health!
