Hey, so about a week ago, I accidentally got a piece of guava stuck in my windpipe. At first, some of it came out, and I didn't really feel like there was anything left. But now, for the past two or three days, it feels like something is still there, and it's starting to hurt. I looked it up online and came across the Heimlich maneuver. I gave it a shot, but nothing changed. Then I read about this "coca cola trick" where carbonated drinks might help dislodge it. Do you think that could actually work? Should I give it a try? And if it's really stuck there for a long time or ends up in my lungs, is that really bad?

Ideally its impossible for food particle to stay in your wind pipe because it will immediately cause you choking effect,you might be having minor trauma there while having food,no need to worry consume warm water and take adequate rest tha will slef resolve,if becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate management
