This is probably going to be the WEIRDEST question but i have a finger nail lodged in my tonsil..what do i do?

I bite my nails, and one got stuck on my tonsil. im not kidding, my mom looked with a flashlight and its on there. she tried to get it off with tweezers but she couldnt get it. ive tried gargling and other stuff but it wont come out :( what should i do?This is probably going to be the WEIRDEST question but i have a finger nail lodged in my tonsil..what do i do?
Make an appointment with your dentist... or doctor... or go to the emergency room or something. The tonsil is very sensitive and if one of the body's first line of defense against bacteria. Your fingernail is full of bacteria and dead cells, so I bet it'd be inflamed and hurting alot.


Go get some professional help before you do any more damage.This is probably going to be the WEIRDEST question but i have a finger nail lodged in my tonsil..what do i do?
You'll probably need to go to the doctor, but here are a few things that might work. First, use an anesthetic spray like Chloraseptic or an anesthetic lozenge like Cepacol to treat the pain. Second, try gargling (with warm tea or salt water or just about anything). Third, try eating sticky stuff like cornbread with honey or peanut butter toast. But don't go digging back there anymore; you could only make things worse. If it's still there tomorrow, see your doctor (and stop biting your nails).
Wow, that IS the weirdest question.... Call your dentist or an ear/nose/throat doctor (hopefully you have someone available) and explain the situation. They may be able to get you in quick - because it seems like it would be a quick in-and-out fix.
holy crap wouldn't that hurt?!?!





if you're like me, i would get in front of a well-lit mirror and try to pull it out myself.





or go to a dentist. they know everything.
gargle with water and uncooked rice. The rice act as an abrasor so might help to dislodge the nail
Go to the doctor...
pull it out.
