Stuck in the throat
From one week,I have a feeling something stuck in my throat or a lump, I don't know exactly. Sometimes I have pain in the back of my chest area.
1. How to find out that I have swallowed a foreign material that got stuck in my throat.
2. If not why am I having that feeling of something stuck in my throat.
3. Is it possible to get into windpipe and cause serious problems.
I don't have problem while eating or drinking or even breathing.
This situation is freaking me out since I'm in my village which is in remote area.
