Popcorn husk in throat

Thx this worked!

thank thank you thank you! I am weird , so I tried it! Relief after days of sore throat , after getting popcorn stuck. I have some tweezers with a light, (Walgreens) , because of my age, i can't see splinters and ticks, and inside my own eyes, and my glasses always in way. I do have a mirror that has a regular side and a magnified side. Anyway, i turned light on twizzers , cleaned with alcohol . Had to use tips them to find and push back and into a really surprisingly tight fold in back throat area. I couldn't believe all the little mess of a nest of white popcorn. It was deep and I had to go back and remove little bits. Never saw the husk, but it seems to be gone. gargled with hydrogen peroxide , pepsi ,and salt water. Feeling great! Thanks for the idea!

i just did this and it worked! I kept using my finger,not my thumb.the thumb worked

SOOO HAPPY I saw your post today....day 4 of the popcorn shell stuck deep in my throat! After trying everything else posted the peanut butter and bread did it for me, THANK GOODNESS! I was an inch away from an anxiety attack/ nervous breakdown. I will NEVER eat popcorn again! Thank you : )

So I just shined a flashlight in the back of my throat until I saw it and then I stuck my finger in and scraped it out. It was one of the best feelings ever.

I think the same thing happened to me today and it hurts really badly. Idk what to do I tried drinking lots of water and no luck.

Good grief. I tried gargling with water, drinking water, drinking soda pop, bread, applesauce and olive oil. Finally saw the peanut butter idea. That worked!! Thank you!!! I’m never eating popcorn again. Ever. Ugh!

I was scared out of my mind and sooooo bugged of it at the same time. I used a flashlight and a cotton swab to start moving it around. I moved it slowly in every direction (up,side out of tonsil, and down) to get it a little less folded up in my tonsil. Then I grabbed tweezers and slowly pulled it out.

I have had this popcorn kernel shell stuck in my throat since Sunday and now its Wednesday and I have tried everything. Feels like I'm choking now that I'm reading all these posts. I think I'm having an anxiety attack. I tried gargling water, listerine, putting my finger in my throat, eating: bread, tortilla chips and thick queso, donut, gagging, soda, cold drinks, NOTHING IS WORKING!!! I feel like pulling my hair out. I do not keep peanut butter in the house because my kid is allergic to peanuts and treenuts. I can't see a thing with my flashlight in the mirror. There is nothing in my tonsils. Wish I never ate that popcorn Sunday night. HELP!!!!

omg i tried this and it worked!!!

The olive oil work!!!!!!!!!! Praise God. I’ve been struggling for the past 3 hours trying not to panic with the popcorn hull stuck in the back of my throat. I’ve could touch it but couldn’t get it out. The olive oil was gross but it really worked. Now I’m sipping on tension tamer tea with a little bit of olive oil to flush it down all the way my throat.

I just did a big scoop of peanut butter and I think it worked thanks for this tip!

it worked for me as well. thanks man! I hate when this popcorn kernel stacks in my throat. It happened in front of my girlfriend, it was so embarrassing it ruined the evening on the 3rd date :(

I ate popcorn today and a popcorn thingy was stuck in my uvula. Now it's out, but it scratched my uvula, and it hurts so freaking much. What can I take to heal it faster?

I’m going through this right now too.. at 3am. Currently freaking out lol, hope you got it out!
