How to remove a fish bone stuck in your throat?

Most fish contain fish bones. Even if you are very careful when eating fish, you may still get a fish bone stuck inadvertently. If this situation occurs in daily life, you must take effective measures to remove the fishbone as soon as possible, otherwise it may injure your throat or even cause suffocation. Next, the editor will tell you some tips on removing fish bones, let’s take a look.

1. If the fish bone is large or deeply stuck, and the pain does not subside no matter how you swallow, and if there is no fish bone on both sides or around the entrance of the throat, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

2. When a fish bone is stuck in the throat, never let the patient swallow large pieces of steamed buns, pancakes or other foods whole. Although this can sometimes remove the fish bone, sometimes such improper treatment not only fails to remove the fish bone, but makes it stick deeper, making it even more difficult to remove. In severe cases, infection and inflammation will be even more troublesome.

3. If the fish bone still does not fall out after swallowing a lot of rice, don't do it yourself. Sometimes the fish bone has fallen out, but the feeling of the bone still remains. So you need to wait and observe. If you still feel unwell, be sure to go to the hospital to see a doctor. This is also the most appropriate way to deal with fishbone injuries.

4. If you find a fish bone in your throat, you can first try to press the front half of the tongue with a spoon or toothbrush handle, and carefully observe the root of the tongue, tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall under bright light. If you can find the fish bone, you can use tweezers or chopsticks to remove it. If the above methods do not work, or if the pain worsens or the foreign body sensation becomes more obvious after swallowing liquid food, you should go to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. Never force yourself to swallow vegetables or steamed buns in large gulps, thinking that you can move the thorn down your esophagus. This will only cause the thorn to penetrate deeper or get stuck in the esophagus, causing more serious consequences.
