Iv heard that if it's meat that is stuck you can drink a little water with tsp of season salt in it and that will break it up. I have not had to try this but hear that it really does work.

Well, if you are stuck, the water will not go down, it will come back up. I think in the mornings, if you drink something warm, the saliva will wash down. When I have been stuck, I knew it, severe pain, constant sliming and possibly a vomit shortly after. When you burp, being the only time you feel that, I am not sure. If in doubt , always call your DR office , that's what they are there for. good luck
