They will most likely scope you with something that has a camera on it to locate the candy in your throat. They have this tube thing (I dont know the technical name) and it has a grabber inside the tube. If they locate the candy, they can run the tube down your throat, grab the candy, and remove it.

THE PHYSICIAN YOU WANT T SEE IS A GASTRO-ENTEROLOGIST, SOME WHO IS A SPECIALIST ON THE ALIMENTARY CANAL.
WHAT PROBABLY HAPPENED IS THAT WHEN YOU WERE CHOKING ON THAT CANDY, YOU PROBABLY SCRATCHED THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT. THIS WILL GET BETTER WITH TIME, JUST DON'T TRY TO SWALLOW LARGE BITES.

I can't answer your question but, do you think maybe it's psycological? It is possible that after choking, your mind (without you being aware) is telling your throat that you may choke again so don't swallow.
