Chances are that the sensation you are feeling is from a scratch caused by the sunflower seed. It is more likely that the seed has already been swallowed. It should start feeling better soon. If it doesn't, or of the pain worsens, get checked out by a doctor.
Reply:Nurse Nancy is probably right. The sunflower seed is probably no longer in your throat but it feels like it because it probably made a little scratch that is most likely healing now. You shouldn't worry about it. You'll be fine.
Reply:it is possible that there is nothing in your throat. you could be feeling an abrasion to the tissue -think road rash on your knees after a bike wreck.


you would need to have your throat visualized to be certain.

  1. the same thing happened to me earlier.. i had a piece of the shell stuck in my skin next to my tonsels sticking like a thorn it was like a splinter... wouldnt come out and really hurt. went to fire department and got an EMT to remove it with medical tweezers while he held my tounge down with a large medal object. it scared the crap outta me and i was gagging the whole time. on vacation when happened (earlier today approx. 11 am) never will eat sunflower seeds again..
