Ate a piece of celery stick and it went down wrong..now my chest hurts. Any ideas what to do?
Question:
Answers:
Are you having problems breathing? (Coughing, gagging, etc) Go to nearest ER.
If not, try this home remedy: Get a couple of pieces of soft, fresh bread. Ball up a good sized bite, and eat it. Be sure to chew it well. Try it several times, up to 2-3 pieces of bread. The bread will usually snag the lodged object and help force it down.
If you are in severe pain, having trouble breathing, or spitting up blood, PLEASE don't wait, Go to ER!
Good Luck!
Other Answers:
I agree with tambara.but consider that when you swallowed the celery, you may have irritated your esophagus. A scrape of sorts. If you have stabbing pains.a trip to ER. Try what the previous answerer said and maybe take some Tylenol to help with mild pain.
