This occurred after the patient had several bites of fish. The patient was evaluated with C-spine films and soft-tissue films, but no definite foreign body was seen. The soft tissue was noted to be normal. The patient, however, continued to have a sensation of a foreign body in the proximal esophagus and was complaining of upper esophageal pain.

He denies any fever, chills, or shortness of breath.Past Medical History:Allergies: No known drug allergies.Medications: None.Surgeries: Repair of a laceration to the forehead 10 months ago.Medical History: History of hepatitis.Family History: Noncontributory.Review of Systems: No medical abnormalities.Physical Examination:Vital Signs: BP 130/80, P 92, T 98.5General:This is a well-developed and well-nourished anxious black male in mild distress.
