I find netting fish (gently) will usually make them spit out anything that's stuck; if it's really and truly stuck, you may need to try and remove it with tweezers

Is she really in difficulties? If she is able to breathe, you might just let nature take its course. A pea should start dissolving, particularly if it was boiled beforehand.

Afraid I'm a bit out of my depth here. Being unable to eat for a few days shouldn't be a problem- but is she able to breathe?
