I was eatting a chicken wing this afternoon and I believe that I swallowed a piece of bone or something. After I swallowed, I immediatley could tell that I and swallowed something "not right". I can still feel something on the left side of my throat. I have read a couple of things on-line, and some of them are downright scary! They talk about people dying from becoming septic. Should you immediately seek medical attention if you believe that you have swallowed a bone? Do they ever pass on their own? It has been about 7 hours since this occured and I still feel like something is lodged in my throat. Thank you!
