Will fish bones dissolve on their own?

Many people like to eat fish, and fish is rich in protein. However, there are many things to pay attention to when eating fish, especially some people are easily stuck by fish bones when eating fish. Generally, when a fish is stuck in people's throat, they will feel obvious discomfort in their throat. At this time, it is very important to take appropriate measures. So will the fish bone dissolve on its own?

1. It takes time

If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, it will cause pain and usually takes a week to dissolve on its own. It is recommended that you go to the ENT department of the hospital for a check-up. If it is a fish bone, the doctor will need to use instruments to remove it. Be careful to eat fish slowly in the future, otherwise it may easily cause fish bones to get stuck in your throat.

2. Remove fish bones by yourself

When you feel that there are small fish bones mixed in the fish meat that have not been cleaned out by you and you have just swallowed it, you can make a vomiting motion and spit out the fish bones wrapped in the fish meat. This will not cause any injuries to your throat. If you feel that the fishbone is not stuck very deep and others can see it with a flashlight, you can open your mouth wide, ask others to help you find the location of the fishbone, and then use tweezers to remove the fishbone.

3. Swallow

If the fishbone can be seen, but household tweezers are not thin enough to remove it, you can carefully observe the condition of the fishbone. If the upper end is stuck in the meat and the lower end is hanging in the air, you can swallow a big mouthful of rice or steamed bun without chewing. Swallow it whole. As long as it is not too deep and the bone is small, there is a high chance that the fishbone can be pushed out. If the fish bone is stuck in the flesh from top to bottom, then this method should never be used, otherwise the fish bone will go deeper and cause greater damage. Friends who are not afraid of sour food can take a big mouthful of vinegar and swallow it slowly in small amounts to soften the fish bones. However, drinking vinegar is not suitable for larger fish bones.
