Why does it feel like there's something stuck in my throat?

Alright, so here is the issue, I was at taco bell eating lunch with a friend and she made me laugh as I was chewing up a bit of crunchy taco (it was only about half way chewed up) anyways me laughing caused me to involuntarily swallow the bite, it didn’t cause me to choke but it felt pretty uncomfortable going down and since then (about an hour and a half ago) it has felt like something is stuck in my throat. Like the food didn’t make it down my throat, but it must’ve otherwise I would be choking wouldn’t I? It doesn’t seem like it could be stuck in my throat but everytime I swallow it feels literally like something is in my throat. Only thing I can really imagine is that the taco going down scraped my throat or rubbed against it causing a scratch or irritation that is causing the sensation but I’m no expert so I don’t know. I was just wondering am I correct, or is there actually potentially a piece of food stuck in my throat and I’m just somehow not choking, it seems unlikely but I figured I’d ask.

Answer #1

Most likely you just scratched your throat, my boyfriend tried swallowing a pill once and threw it back up but for some reason thought it was stuck in his throat and thought he was choking. Try drinking some warm tea with honey or garggling with salt water :)

Answer #2

Yeah I was thinking about gargling some salt water, thanks for the tips! :D
