Hello people,

I was eating gummy bears while laying on the couch, and I accidentally swallowed a piece whole (roughly 3 cm long, 0,5 cm in radius). I immediately started coughing, it felt like the candy was stuck in my throat, roughly halfway down in my esophagus. The thing is ever since, I feel like the candy is still there. It's not painful, it's just a sensation that something still there, like there was something there that i am unable to swallow. I don't have any difficulties breathing, nor swallowing but I'm starting to get scared, since this was 2 days ago. Should i get a doctor's appointment, or its just an injury or irritation?
