A member asked:
I pulled a carbide splinter out of my finger with my teeth and i think i got it stuck in my throat. what should i do? see a doctor or can i get it out myself?

To make certain that the splinter is actually in your throat, I would make an appointment with an ENT. I would not try and remove the splinter, simply because you might cause more harm than good.

Do not attempt removal. You don't have the access, the training, or the equipment, and can cause more harm than good. Recommend that you see an Orlando Maxilla-facial Surgeon or an ENT
