Lol, that might work.


Maybe you could have someone hang you upside-down by your ankles while you drink a glass of water. Might even clear up a case of hiccups while you're at it.

Sounds like you might have irritated the area and thats what you are actually feeling, its hard to say without seeing, I have done similar things particularly with the eyes, had an eye brow/lash hair get into my eye way up under neath spent an hour trying to get it out, after I did it still hurt like it was in there for the next 2 days, think I scratched it, You may have something similar...

Take a couple tylenol or somthing that reduces inflamation and stop thinking about it, it will go away

I read somewhere that dairy products promote the promotion of mucus. So, 1 bottle of Kahlua+1 bottle of vodka+1 carton of milk= White Russians. I know they help me go to sleep sitting up, too.....

Talking

After reading all thei "fixes" for this problem, I finally picked myself up off the floor from laughing!! You guys are totally nuts, ya know that, don't ya?

First off.. using a mirror and a flashlight, check the back of your throat. Is there someting actually hanging there that is visible? Is the back of your throat red and irritated? If so.. I'd try gargling with some hot salt water....as salty and hot as you can stand. Gargle the whole glass several times a day..that's one of the best natural disinfectants you can cheaply use.

2ndly ... how big is your hand? or your kids? .. lol.. have someone reach back there .. and up.. swabbing the whole area and trying to drag the offending object out! ( sorry..I couldn't resist!...still giggling at this whole thread!)

After a 30 year stint as Santa ,I have had this happen so many times..... I am gagging right now thinking of them.

After using a nose bulb filled with warm water and inserted in my nose and inject the water,
I used to drink a large Coke real quick and then right after hork up all the Phlegm in my throat, This usually cleared up the problem.

If it persists go see an ENT specialist.

Okay...I think I got this one! What you need to do is snort some water like a previous gentleman said - not alot at a time or you'll gag . Snort some and toss your head back so it flows back down your sinus. I do that with salt water when I get a sinus infection hurts for a minut but it works and after it builds up some mucus you can blow out. Also try massaging you sinus just behind your hard palet with your finger/ thumb.

Reminds me of a guy on TV who would swallow some string and then blow one end out of his nose and floss his sinus! Good times to be had by all!
