Sir, its not in your trachea or brochi, otherwise would have led to coughing, difficulty breathing or noisy breathing. May be its stuck in your throat, u need to have a thorough consultation on video or physically to see it properly. But nothing to worry about it will not lead to breathing issue. And it can be removed without surgery, if its really stuck there.

According to your history it's not in your trachea and food pipe. Because of fear and mucosal injury you r feeling it. Don't be panic. Take antacid you will be fine.
