Swallowed hard plastic and cut my throat?!
Question: Swallowed hard plastic and cut my throat.?
I love chewing on things and I was sitting around and chewing on a piece of hard plastic with sharp corners (from a broken CD case.. yes i know, stupid).. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing, and I accidently swallowed it.. So at first, nothing really happened but later on during the night, I could feel the hard plastic still stuck in my throat.. It didn't hurt too bad, but was extremely uncomfortable.. Today I woke up, and it feels like it's still there.. I don't think that it's stuck in my throat anymore, but I believe that the sharp corners up the plastic cut my throat and irritated it.. It hurts to talk/cough/eat and it's swelling up.. What should I do.?Health Question & Answer

I had sorta the same thing happen to me it was a fish bone maybe wait a couple days and see if it heals or gets any better but if its to bad you should go to the doctor right away.. Maybe shine a light in your throat and look into the mirror and see if you can see anything cut or still in there..Health Question & Answer
See a doctor.. I had a pill dissolve a small hole in my esophagus and it was a huge pain in the butt.. Foods with citric acid or sharp edges, ( applesauce or pizza crust ), will further irritate the wound.. Get it checked out asap..Health Question & Answer
go to the doctors if it's really bothering you.. I would wait for it to heal over since I am afraid of doctors, but if it's really bad you should just go~Health Question & Answer
