Stuff stuck in throat.

Question

Asked for Male, 18 Years

Hello. About 2 and a half hours ago I had some meat skewers at work for dinner but noticed something a little off. I've eaten this dozens of times before but this time it felt like something was lodged in my throat. I thought it was me just being paranoid but a few hours later I coughed up some wooden skewer bits. These bits weren't too sharp but they definitely poked my tongue. I also feel like there still might be some bits left and I'm not sure what to do.
