I think a swallowed a bug? Please help?

Question

Alright, so I sleep with my mouth open. Like in the middle of the night I'll just open my mouth to sleep instead of closing it like it was when I first went to sleep. But when I woke up this morning, I felt something at the back of my mouth. I wasn't sure what it was. I was still prety sleepy then, so I swallowed it. Then I kind of fell asleep for a while. But then when I woke up again, I felt like there was something in my throat. And I kept on coughing. I'm trying not to cough right now because i'm afraid the bug will come up and I'll get really scared or even throw up because I am seriously afraid of bugs. Once I saw a spider in my room and it was huge and I started crying...
So, honestly, I just want this bug to go down my throat. I know that sounds kinda cruel but I heard that many people eat bugs and that on a yearly bases, most people eat 8 spiders every years (on an average). I dunno what to do to make this bug go down...I think it was a spider and I am seroiusly TERRFIED of spiders. So, i'm in a really uncomfortable situation right now. I drank some water but I still feel it in my throat. I ate some small ccandy and stuff and its still in my throat. I'm gonna go eat something, but i'm just afraid i'll throw up. So please help? Don't call me a baby or anything, but i'm seriously afraid of bugs and spiders and i'm super paranoid and I almost feel like crying. (and I cry easily too) but I'm just really scared of bugs. Please help?

Answer 1

Well, the last place a spider is going to crawl, and that is into a human mouth, so if it was some bug, it wouldn't be a spider. The notion that this happen is just an urban myth, and believing these ridicules stories is probably one of the reasons you fear spiders.

People do on occasion swallow flying insects like mosquitoes, flies and gnats, but no big deal, the consumption of bugs and spiders is totally harmless. I swallowed a bee once riding my bicycle.

Try eating some bread product, and some orange juice. And don't worry about the bugs.

It might be one of those little yellow little things that come up out of your throat? That might happen sometimes? Try coughing up a loogie and spitting it out? Or gargle salt water and see if that helps!
