Popcorn kernel stuck in throat

[Minnley]

So just to my luck today I decided to try one single piece of my friends "nacho cheese" flavour popcorn and the kernel is stuck pretty far down my throat.

I have tried drinking it away, I have tried bread and I have tried to fish it outa there with my fingers. NOTHING has worked as of yet.

Any suggestions I can try before calling to book an appointment with an ENT?

Chew Altoids. They have come to my rescue more than once.

Wasn’t there a thread about this years ago? Am I dreaming it?

Why would someone join Disboards to ask about a stuck popcorn kernel?!

Ok, so I’m not losing it.

I just can’t fathom getting a popcorn kernel stuck in my throat and running to....Disboards??....to find out what I need to do?

I’m guessing the old Disboards thread must have popped up on a search, which must mean we are the experts on the subject.

I can’t keep up with all these popcorn threads! 62% of my notifications are about popcorn kernels stuck in someone’s throat. Mods, can we get a dedicated subforum for this?

I gave up popcorn for this reason. Having a husk stuck is not fun. Good luck OP.

Hi there..... I have been reading this thread and I have a popcorn kernel stuck in my throat it is probably just below my gland and the worst thing ever!!!! It's literally all I think about all day every second of every day. It happened on Saturday so this is now day 3. I am filled with hope reading these stories, iv tried every single thing mentioned and so far no luck! I am worried now that it is just cut and I'm aggravating it kore so going to try a day of leaving it alone.

Welcome to the stuck popcorn club, Popcorn. Make sure to stop by the queen of stuck popcorn kernels, @NikkiLovesWDW!'s thread, many good pointers there. And make sure to stay and hang around a bit after the kernel is gone. Best wishes.
