My 2 yr old has a cooked spagetti noodles stuck in her throat. I believe she partially snorted it from her throat up bc she is pulling at her nose too. She can breathe, eat and drink. When I look at her throat with a flashlight I see the noodle hanging vertical. I had cut the noodles so its not too long.
Generally, small pieces of food stuck in the throat will dissolve on their own by being exposed to saliva from the mouth. You can wait for this to happen if symptoms are not overly troublesome. Chewing gum or sucking on lozenges increase the amount of saliva produced and can help with this process. Sometimes the piece of food might be up so high that it actually has to come out your nose. That would take a lot of blowing or snorting, and having food come up through your nose feels really gross. If your child is fine, take some time. It will be fine.
