My child is on day 5 of a tonsillectomy recovery and she ate a piece of pork ribs and now feels like theres a piece stuck in the back of her throat. is this possible and if so what should we do?

Offer soothing neutral fluids, soft diet and vanilla ice cream if tolerated. Advance diet slowly and the irritation usually resolves within a few days. Watch for signs of difficulty swallowing and fever.
