To relieve the feeling of something stuck in the throat, you can try several effective home remedies and techniques:

• Drink carbonated beverages: Sipping on soda or sparkling water may help dislodge food stuck in the esophagus. The carbon dioxide gas creates pressure that can break up or push down the obstruction

• Take effervescent tablets or baking soda: Effervescent drugs like Alka-Seltzer or a baking soda-water mixture produce bubbles that may help disintegrate and move the stuck food

• Drink plenty of water: Sipping water can moisten and lubricate the throat, helping the stuck material slide down more easily

• Eat a moist piece of food: Soft foods like a piece of bread soaked in water or a bite of banana can sometimes push the stuck food down

• Try swallowing butter: A tablespoon of butter may lubricate the esophagus lining and aid in moving the stuck food

• Swallow or yawn deliberately: For the sensation of something stuck without actual obstruction (like globus pharyngeus), swallowing with or without water, yawning widely, and moving the jaw can relax throat muscles and ease discomfort

• Gargle with warm salt water: This can soothe irritation and clear mucus that might contribute to the sensation of blockage

If the feeling persists for more than an hour, or if you cannot swallow saliva or are in distress, seek medical attention promptly as it may require professional removal or indicate an underlying condition

. These remedies are generally safe for mild cases, but recurrent or severe symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out esophageal strictures, infections, or other causes
