What to do when a fish bone stuck in your throat



When a fish bone gets stuck in the throat, there are several remedies you can try to dislodge it. Here are some options based on the search results:

1. Stay Calm: Try to stay calm and avoid panicking, as panicking can make the situation worse.


2. Cough gently, thenforcefully: First, try to cough gently to see if the bone dislodges on its own but if not then try coughing forcefully to see if it helps to dislodge the bone .

3. Drink Water/gargle warm salt water: Sip on some water to help lubricate your throat and esophagus or Gargle warm salt water to help soothe the throat and potentially dislodge the bone


4. Eat soft or moist food: Consuming soft or moistened foods like banana, soft bread, mashed potatoes, Chewing on a marshmallow or cooked rice may help the bone stick to the food and dislodge it or push the bone down.Some people find that swallowing a piece of banana helps in dislodging the bone.

5. Drink olive oil: Drinking a tablespoon of olive oil can help lubricate and free the bone.

6. Drink something acidic: Consuming something acidic, such as vinegar or soda, may help dissolve the bone.

7. Wait for it to pass on its own:
Many times, the discomfort felt from the fish bone may not be the fish bone at all. The fish bone could have been temporarily lodged in the throat, causing local inflammation and irritation, but could have been swallowed on its own, leaving the damage behind. Waiting a few hours may help you determine whether the fish bone is indeed still stuck, or whether it is mild tissue damage you are feeling.

8. Eat dry crackers: This method involves swallowing as many dry crackers as you can, making sure to only chew them enough so that they can be swallowed as a whole. This idea is that the bolus that is swallowed scraped against the throat to dislodge the bone. Make sure to have a cup of water handy in case you find the crackers hard to swallow on their own.

9. Drink a thick milkshake or smoothie: A thick drink, like a milkshake or smoothie, can help to push the fish bone down the throat, especially if gulped forcefully. These drinks have the added benefit of being cold, which can soothe any irritation or discomfort caused by the fish bone. 

10. Seek Medical Help: If the bone is still stuck and causing discomfort, pain, bleeding or if you're having trouble breathing or swallowing, seek medical attention immediately. Do not attempt to use sharp objects to remove the bone yourself, as this can be dangerous and can cause further injury.
