I'm really worried because I was eating lunch and accidentally swallowed a chicken bone without noticing. I think it was about an inch long. At first, it got stuck and caused a lot of pain in my throat, so I quickly drank some water. But now I still feel pain when I drink. Is this something dangerous or serious? What should I do?

View allI'm feeling this odd needle-like pain on the left side of my throat. It's not like a regular sore throat, just barely noticeable. Should I be concerned about this or could it be something minor?

Yesterday, my mom had a bit of blood in her sputum, but it just happened once. She's been dealing with some throat issues lately. Could this be related to her throat problem?

Feels like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's super annoying and irritating. There's no pain, but I'm really uncomfortable. How can I get rid of this feeling?
It sounds like you may be experiencing globus pharyngeus, which is the sensation of a lump or something stuck in the throat without any actual blockage. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try gargling with warm salt water, drinking plenty of fluids, and sucking on throat lozenges. Additionally, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to reduce any acid reflux that may be contributing to the sensation. If the feeling persists, you may consider using an over-the-counter mucolytic agent like Guaifenesin (e.g. Mucinex) to help thin out any mucus that could be causing the sensation.
