Q: I Have a Staple In My Throat. Please Help!

I feel it in the throat, I have eaten bananas, a lot of water, and there's no solution. I have 5 days with this problem. I don't wanna go to the doctor, because I have to make a trip to another country. Any suggestions?

Well, you could buy one of those dentist mirrors (with the long handle) and try to see it. If you can reach it then try to pull it out. But, I would definately go to the doctor! Why do you think it is a staple anyway, did you eat one?
