Okay, so last night I had a great meal with my partner, however at some point during the meal, as you’ve probably guessed, a bit of food (I’m still not sure what) got stuck in my throat. Now just to specify it wasn’t just in my throat, it was like backed up where my nose meets my throat and every time I swallowed the motion kept it jammed up there. Unpleasant, sure, big problem, not yet.
However as the evening becomes night my throat and nose get sorer and sorer until by the time I got to sleep I have an absolutely killer sore throat. I end up waking at sunrise as every time I swallow is agony, my nose is streaming and I realise I’m not getting back to sleep. So I creep out of the room and head downstairs trying not to wake anyone else in the house, and in this time I’ve been awake I’ve been surfing Reddit articles on food stuck in your throat. I’m attempting to do all the fixes, gargling, humming, eating bread and rice and gulping down the only carbonated thing I had in the house, a strong German beer. All to no avail, every swallow was torture, I stick my finger down the back of my throat but can’t dislodge it because the culprit has taken the nose junction and is out of my probing jurisdiction. Anyway, I look at my beer and I get an idea.
I tilt my head back, close one nostril and pour my Hofbrau Original 5% up my nose. My eyes stream, I fight the reflex to stop or sneeze. After I’ve poured what feels like a shot of beer up my nose I feel it immediately foaming inside. I cover the other nostril and proceed to get a German beer sinus cleanse. Pressure builds as beer foam begins to spray down the back of my throat, then it releases, and whatever little bit of food was causing me so much grief was there, is now gone. So there I am at 6 am in my kitchen covered in snot and beer, borderline weeping with relief. And I’m still not sure if I should post this here or in LPT
Tldr; Food stuck in my throat caused super discomfort, ended up giving myself a homemade sinus irrigation with a beer.
