You will need to have your mom look closely at your throat to see if there maybe has been infection starting. That can happen very easily if you have tonsils and than the piece of stuck food is just a ground for germs to start causing the pain. Either way, if this doesn't go away soon, you will have to see a doctor because ibuprofen will not solve this problem - it only takes away the pain temporarily, but it can also cause you stomach problems that would make things even more complicated.
