Hit in the throat... is it dangerous?
Today my friend and I were messing about and he accidentally hit my throat with his shoulder... it really hurt at the time and I couldn't sit up properly for a while 
it felt difficult to breathe at first. It feels ok now I guess but hurts a wee bit to swallow but I'm not sure whether I am just paranoid about that as it isn't great pain! Is this dangerous?? I have heard that it can kill you? :|

I think if its going to kill you it'd be more instant that this. I think the risk is that damage can be caused to the windpipe (oesphagus I think its called in sciency words) and that this can cuase problems with breathing. You can get checked out but you're probably fine and maybe a bit bruised!
It can be dangerous, but I'm pretty sure if you were going to die you'd be dead already!
I'd try to drink some water or eat something small and just see if its possible or if it really hurts.
If in the morning its still painful then you are probably best of seeing your GP, but there is a good chance that in a few hours you will feel a bit better. You may come out in a bit of a bruise though!

Well no I gathered that if i was going to die it would have happened instantly but I was just reading about it and heard that it is possible to die from it which I was not aware of. I'm guessing probably because you could stop breathing or something?
Haha oooh yer icecream does sound good!!
I think it'll be ok by tomorrow but I just wanted to know the possible dangers it could cause.

Clock's ticking for you emansell1
Ice cream, lollys, anything cold really. It reduces swelling but really its just an excuse to eat some good food.
Deep breathing won't expand the food pipe but deep breathing is good for reducing stress and can relax you which are both useful if you're in pain.

Just so you know, it's called the trachea. The oesophagus is the one that carries food down.

This is why I failed biology, too many words!
At least now I won't embarass myself in front of my mate who is good at biology, cheers!

Had your larynx been crushed, you would probably know by the tell-tale blue tinge to your complexion, in addition to your being dead.
Unless Karl Kennedy was nearby with a pen knife and a bendy straw
I had a hockey stick wacked into my throat in year 9 (stick to the under-the-waist rule!!).
Anyway I dropped to the floor and initially found it hard to breathe. Deep breaths helped to improve it. Then just hurt to swallow for a while. If there were no initial worries you should be fine.

i've done a lot to my neck, literally one point been thrown in the air, and fell 5 feet to land on th side of my neck.
as long as nothing hit the oesophagus (front chunky bit) or literally breaks your neck. you should be fine. if it hits your oesophagus, you will choke and find it hard to breathe, but you'll be fine, or it'll break and you'll suffocate to death.
if you break your neck, you either die as all nerves are broken to your entire body, or you're in a lot of pain, but can apparently still be a goal keeper.
there are worse places, a hit to the sternum can stop your heart. any hit to the head can kill you.
and if you get kicked in the balls, you wish one of those other things had happened instead.
relax, your not dead.
your just scared
