What to do if a fish bone is stuck in your throat?

1. Do not swallow rice balls

Among the traditional remedies, the first step when a fish bone is stuck in the throat is to quickly eat a large rice ball, the bigger the better, and take a bite of the rice ball to wrap the fish bone and swallow it into the stomach. In fact, this method is very unscientific. Swallowing the rice ball will not only cause the risk of choking, but also allow the fish bone to penetrate deeper into the flesh, making it difficult to remove.

2. Don’t drink water in big gulps

After a fish bone is stuck in your throat, do not keep drinking boiled water, soup or beverages. Because there is a fish bone stuck in your throat, if you keep swallowing, it will easily cause the fish bone to move, or even deepen the position of the fish bone, which is quite harmful. Therefore, you generally only need to rinse your mouth simply and then be prepared to go to the hospital for treatment.

3. Don’t dig with your fingers

If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, do not use tools or dig your throat with your fingers. This will not only cause nausea and vomiting, but will also easily deepen the position of the fish bone and make the symptoms more severe. You can try to use a mirror to observe your throat, but don't reach out or use tweezers to pinch it yourself. If it is unstable, it will increase the pain.
