Choking!!?!


Question: i just had the most frightening experience of my life almost choking on a large sweet. luckily my body managed to expel it, but now i can't swallow properly, and i feel like i need to cough but coughing doesn't help. it kinda feels like there's still something there. is this normal and how long will it take to get back to normal? thanks so much.

hI, poor you, i do sympatise,I witnessed my ex husband nearly choked in front of me, luckily someone saved him! A huge geordy bloke, that had to vertually beat him to get the fish bone and food that was lodged in his windpipe up!
I remember he felt like you do for a while! He also suffered nightmares waking up like he was choking'! Hope you don't ! Talk to everyone you can about it, don't bottle it up, and thank god you are okay! It is very fightening!

your throat is irritated. let it rest . it'll be okay in a day or two

It takes a few days

sounds like ur esophagus is scrached just drink milk and other creamy stuff for like a week it should heal quick oh and cough drops to

yes its normal and you should feel better by tomorrow

Your throat is going to feel weird for a while, but it should go away in a few hours at the most. I choked on an ice cube once and the same thing happened.

i think it had scratched you so it still feels like its there but its not
try eating something to push it down or just wait until tomorrow

i don't think its normal.

you should probably call a 24 hour nursing hotline or something.

If it gets bad I would go to the hospital but i would try to drink lots of liquid to try and drain it out

thats was lucky , you have probably scratched your throat, give it a couple of days you will be fine, im so glad your ok now , be carefull

ya its normal.. what happens is when you choke little blood vessels in your throat pop and for about an hour or so it will still feel like there is something in there.... just drink some water slowley and wait and it will go away....

sounds like you have made your throat inflamed, would speak to your pharmacist to make sure you havent caused too much damage, otherwise it should settle down in a couple of days - pleased yoy are ok though xx

yes it's normal, urbody still has broases from the choaking, I mean ur troat, it should slowly dissappear, like in a day or so, but if it won't dissappear go to the doctor

you have just scared the back of your throat it will be OK

If the sweet came out broken, there could be shards or pieces of the sweet still lodged in your throat.
I would try coughing more, and drinking a lot of water
DON'T stick your fingers down your throat to try and find if there's anything there.
That's silly, and it hurts :P
If the sweet was whole all I can think of is that you are just shocked and the feeling will pass
Hope this helps :)
xxxxxxxxxx

try drinking something really hot, like hit milk or water. and if that doesn't work, try eating something on top of it, it actually does help, it adds on weight to the previous intake of food. Also just swallow al lot, anything you can drink or eat in addition to push the food that is still stuck in your throat will get it down.

should take 2 or 3 days drink milk

poor you, dont panic because it's just your throat recovering. while choaking some saliva would have gone down your wind pipe also it will be irritated so trying to recover, along with yourself. try to keep coughing so to eventually clear it and sip water from time to time. deep breathes :o)

you may have bruised the tissues inside your esophagus.

go and see a doctor.
