It's been sitting in my throat for an hour now.

Will it go down?

Should I drink warm liquids!

Lord what was I thinking about!

I have chewed it before and this never happened.

Have you tried to eat anything yet? How did it go?

I was of the understanding that we shouldn't chew gum for that very reason...because it will get stuck and may require surgery to remove! :rose:

You better call your doctor!

God I know better!

I have drank my coffee but I can still feel a lump in my throat.

God I hope it goes down!

Good luck, I have looked at other sites and didn't see any posts on how to get the gum to go down. This was one of the things my dr told me about and I have come close to chewing some, but caught myself.

I'll keep you updated.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this.

Here's some other threads:

Thanks terri I feel better about it now.

I can still feel it in my throat but I suppose it will pass.

The doc said to see how my eating goes today.

I hope it passes sweetie.

Try pineapple juice. I read on another thread it helps pass things.

I also have aloe vera dessert, found in the Oriental section of my grocery store for just such occasions, but pineapple juice is something you might have handy.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.....

How are you?

Has it come out?

I am not even sure now.

I did my 4 mile walk today.

My passage became clear and I could swallow.

Now that I am resting I feel the gum or maybe mucous again.

I have severe allergies as well.

I dont know what it is but I am able to eat and drink.

My doc said not to worry.

She said if I can swallow a pill A piece of gum is fine.

I don't know!

I'm almost certain it's my sinud dripping.

I woke up with my nose running and my chest is a little sore.

When I drank my water it hurt slightly.
