It feels like something is stuck in my throat but I can still breathe and I don’t know what to do

I am a 19 year old male. When I was eating it felt like something got stuck in my throat. I can still breathe but it is uncomfortable especially when I swallow. I don’t know what I should do. I have been constantly drinking water but it has not gone away.
