If you have ever gotten a popcorn kernel stuck in your throat, you know how uncomfortable and even painful it can be. The sharp edges of the kernel can scratch the delicate tissues of your throat, causing irritation, coughing, and even bleeding. In some cases, a popcorn kernel can even become lodged in your airway, blocking your breathing.
There are a few different ways to remove a popcorn kernel from your throat. One common method is to drink a glass of water. The water will help to lubricate the kernel and make it easier to dislodge. You can also try to cough up the kernel. However, if you are coughing violently, you may end up inhaling the kernel deeper into your lungs. If you are unable to remove the kernel yourself, you should see a doctor. The doctor may use a pair of tweezers to remove the kernel.
