Lot of hot water? try to cough(or breath) at the same time while swallowing.

Jesus, dude. Are you sure it's still in there? I've swallowed things the wrong way before and for hours afterward it felt like there was something still there, but it was just irritation/swelling. Is there anybody there who could look down your throat with a flashlight?

I'd be very nervous going to sleep with something lodged in my throat.

I'd be very nervous going to sleep with something lodged in my throat. It might be swelling, I'm not sure. I can't see it myself and there's no one around.

And yeah, the reason I asked is I'm nervous to go to sleep.

I really don't wanna go to a clinic. Could a clinic even do it? I'd imagine it's just forseps and a yoink, but I'm not sure if I'd need to go to an ER for that (which seems WAY overkill)...

It's a candy so it's meant to dissolve...I just want it go faster.

I also tried the upchuk method, but all that's given me is swollen eyes. I'd imagine a clinic could take care of it for you. If it's making you nervous, just go deal with it and get it over with.

Don't go to sleep.

[gDGwm8BC]

I insist that he must drink water up his nose... the candy is in airway...

If you really try this; post your results!

[Beerinkol]

And post it on youtube.

I called the 24 hour "registered nurse" telehealth number for Ontario but apparently it is hugely backlogged...

I'm going to try to find a 24 hr clinic, but there's not many it seems in Toronto

[secondmertg]

Is it inevitable that it will eventually dissolve?

Hot water. If hard candy's in tehre, it'll speed teh dissolving process; if it's swelling, irritation, it'll help that go down. I'm glad you're not my doctor. Heat increases swelling.

Just got off the phone with an RN for Ontario Health

She said she's 99% sure it's just swelling (since I did induce vomiting as well, etc).
Her official recommendation was to go to emergency (there are no 24 hr clinics in Toronto!), her unofficial was to sleep on it.

Do you have a webcam? Maybe you can show your throat to someone over IM. You Tube material.

HONEY! It might slide down.

I ate a sub for lunch and pasta for dinner without issue, so the chances of something blocking it surely aren't too high.

On a more serious note, go see a doctor. You never know if it might slip and block your airway. How can it slip if it's down the tube to the stomach?*

my anatomy knowledge isn't that great in this area

[RBJamez]

I'll tell you a possibilty. It's that "hangy down" and you're jacking with it, about to rip it out. You're not drunk or stone are you? That adds to the possibility.

2) Throat is swollen due to **** I've been doing to get non-existant candy out

[hrthwhr]

ANOTHER ONE CALLED CORRECTLY BY KH!

The heat does help to ease pain, but it increases swelling.

That's why you're not supposed to put heat on a sprain for at least a couple of days.
