Peanut shell stuck in throat

[BXR MOM]

My husband has been coughing for over an hour due to a peanut shell from a christmas treat that is "stuck" in his throat. Anybody have a home remedy for helping to get it unstuck. I need to sleep tonight!

Something that it might stick too? Peanut butter, honey....that is a horrible feeling.

Try eating a slice of bread. It works wonders to pull anything "stuck" in your throat. I had a fish bone stuck once and it worked.

I had to laugh (sorry)!

Anyone see that "Curb Your Enthusiasm" episode where Larry David get something stuck in his throat? It was not a peanut shell (I won't say what it was)....but it was pretty funny!

I was gonna say what leialittle said...bread! It does work wonders! (even great for food poisoning..absorbs the poison )
My ex dh was eating porkchops one time and began to gag and choke. He could not get it unlodged from his windpipe so off to the hospital we went. He was brought into surgery when the xrays showed a bone lodged in his throat. The doctor later came to me in the waiting room with the bone in a small jar. I couldn't help it, but I cracked up and so did the doc!! I couldn't believe the size of the bone!!! We cracked a few jokes about hubby's "big mouth" and from then on I gave him the nickname "bonehead"!!
Sorry...ya just made me think of that! I hope your hubby can get the shell unstuck!! I know that's not a pleasant feeling!
