I think I have part of a popcorn seed stuck in my throat but can't seem to cough it up. What can I do?

Answer 1

try using your tooth brush i think it helps since the popcorn piece is most likely round and smooth on the outside so anything you do will not easily. The tiny bristles can easily lift the piece since there are so many one is bound to get in one of its openings on the side hopefully. Just be careful cuz you could cough from the tooth brush down your throat.

Answer 2

gargle warm water, make sure you let it run a little down your throat. popcorn shells have very ragged edges and can actually cut into the flesh in your throat, roof of your mouth etc. just keep gargling with warm water until it flushes it out.

Answer 3

attempt eating a slice of undeniable white bread without liquid. If the 1st one does no longer unlock the popcorn, attempt a 2d slice of bread. this would be a trick which would be utilized additionally to loose a fish bone this is caught on your throat. good success!

Answer 4

Maybe drink soda. Hopefully the carbonation will cause bubbles to get rid of it.

Answer 5

If gargling doesn't dislodge it, try eating a piece of dry bread.
