Joined Feb 22, 2006 Messages 9,169 What should I do?? It's been there since Saturday evening. It happens to me ALL the time but it's usually gone by the next day. Now it's been almost 2 days and I'm starting to get nervous! I can't see it, it feels like it's really down there. I don't want it to cause an infection or anything and it's really uncomfortable! I've tried gargling, drinking soda, obviously I've eaten a lot since then.... I'm thinking about going to Urgent Care but what will they be able to do really? Should I go or give it a couple more days? G

Joined Mar 21, 2003 Messages 19,120 That happened to me. I think it was the shell that was stuck in my throat. I tried everything. Drank and ate anything I thought would dislodge it. After the third day I decided I was going to ask one of the GI guys (I work in a hospital) to scope me and get it out. Woke up that morning and it was gone. Haven't ate popcorn since.

Trust me, I am never eating popcorn again! It doesn't really hurt but it's all I can think about! So you think I should go to Urgent Care and they'll be able to "scope me." (Haha, I don't really know what that means!) K

Joined Jul 21, 2009 Messages 156 You may want to check with your PCP to see an ENT or go to urgent care. I had problems swallowing and did not think I needed to see anyone. I ended up with a piece of steak caught in my throat. After having it scoped out, a pin hole puncture was found and I spent a week in the hospital not able to eat anything while it healed. If you frequently have things caught in your throat and/or difficulty with swallowing, you could have acid reflux which causes small ulcers to form on your throat, causing food to stick. Simple fix after being diagnosied is medication daily. Good luck! R

Joined Jul 11, 2007 Messages 10,050 I hate those shells. Usually they are gone within the first day and if it just feels like it's there it is usually just a scratch but I can usually tell if it's *really* there. I'd go have it checked out if it's still there. It would drive me crazy.

Joined Aug 31, 1999 Messages 32,696 I thought I did this once before too. I even had my doctor look at it. He found nothing and said that it had likely been abraded by the shell giving me that sensation. If it is stuck there, a shell will deteriorate over time.

I was just going to say the same thing. Italian bread usually pushes down anything that gets stuck in my throat. I hope you get relief soon.
