I was eating sunflower seeds, and a piece of the shell got stuck on the left side of my throat! Right away I felt like throwing up, but nothing. And I ate 3 banana's and lots of water, thinking it would push it down. I need some help! Everyonce and awhile I get a sharp pain from it! I'm pretty sure it's not the entire shell or seed, just a little sliver. I'm really scared and I really want to get it out. Please Help ASAP!

Try eating several slices of soft bread. That will usually dislodge anything stuck in the throat.
If the pain is still there after you've tried that and it feels like the shell is still stuck, go to the doctor or your ER/walk-in clinic. You don't want a throat infection because of it.

You may very well not have the seed shell there naymore it could be that you have cut your throat and that is the paid that you keep feeling. Go to the doctors and let them have a good look to see if there is anyting actually still stuck there.
Good luck!!

Try drinking a large glass of water or squash. I know you've had coffee but you were probably sipping that. Get a pint of water and drink it fairly fast, to see if you can wash the shell down. Anywhere the shell might have got lodged should be reached by the water so this method will hopefully work for you.

Don't you think it may have got stuck in your throat like a wood sliver? You should go to the doc or a walk in clinic before any damage is done.

I think you might have pierced your throat with the sharp end of the sunflower shell. I think you should go to your doctor ASAP. you might have a small pierce but it might get infected. Doctors will probably sedate you and try to remove the prickler. Good Luck!!!

......i would try eating some more sunflower seeds. maybe one of the seeds or shells will pry out the other shell!! :) or you could try forcing yourself to vomit.. this is done by sticking your longest finger (or any other long skinny object) down your throat. the highly acidic liquid should disolve the shell just like it would in your stomach... this is what i do when i feel like i've eaten too much to maintain my weight.. (ex: christmas/ thanksgiving dinner, or "the munchies")

This can be very dangerous becasue it is so small you may want yo go to the ER so they can do an x-ray or have you drink some thing to dissolve it. DAMN now my throat hurt for you... ouch!! Good luck!!
