“Do I need to go to the ER?”
I was eating and coughed. When I did a small chicken bone feels like it got stuck in my throat. I can breathe, talk, and swallow fine....just feels like it's there. Do I need to to go the ER?

Eat more roughage for about 7 days, such as oranges, grapefruit and apples. Keep hydrated 2 liters daily with liquid probiotics and aloe Vera juice. If symptoms then continue then visit urgent care or walk in clinic,
EENT consultation as soon as possible. In the meantime, do not cause irresistible urge to regurgitate or any maneuver tactics. For all you know, the cause could due to voluntary or self irritation to get rid of it. Watch for perforation signs. Imaging study may be needed dependent to ENT findings.
You should go!
