And if it is stuck in the throat of a child – the panic of parents is understandable. "Site" They will tell you what to do in such a situation.

Fish bones are very thin, flexible, but strong and unusually sharp. When the bone is in the throat, it can plunge into the mucous membrane with a sharp end, like a needle into a needle pad. The pain can be felt immediately, and can only be felt when the bone is grazed by food passing through the larynx.

Due to the size of the bone can be difficult to detect on visual inspection. Sometimes the bone in the throat can stay for weeks or months, and people don’t even know that something is wrong. However, many complain of perspiration and discomfort when swallowing.

If the bone is stuck in the tonsils or palate, where there are many nerve endings, it is difficult not to notice the foreign body: the pain bothers almost continuously. In addition, there may be swelling of the mucous membrane, vomiting, fever.





Long-term bone in the larynx can cause suppuration, then you can not do without surgical intervention. What to do if the problem has occurred and fishbone stuck in the throat?

Dangerous and ineffective ways What recommendations are not given on forums on the Internet! From the more or less intelligent to the most amazing.

It's not bread they suggest. Take bananas or potatoes. Mashed them. Plenty of sunflower oil. And start eating, almost without chewing. Whether this "treat" fish bone - history is silent.

Another “proven” method for removing fish bones from the throat is rinsing. Better natural antiseptic, such as a decoction of chamomile or calendula. Here it is assumed that the muscles of the pharynx will be intensively contracted and the fish bone will safely come out. The antiseptic will heal the wound.

It is recommended to swallow lemon at night. Allegedly an acidic environment overnight will dissolve bone without a trace. As an option, they offer to induce vomiting, but personally to me this method of solving the problem does not seem appropriate.

In addition to “food” methods of pushing the bone, mechanical methods of extraction can be used. Like tweezers. Before using tweezers, it should be disinfected with alcohol or treated with boiling water. However, this method will work when the bone is high and visible.

Another “reliable” tool is a toothbrush. Namely: the fish bone will get stuck between the bristles of the brush, if it is properly shuffled in the throat. And you can also wind a thick layer of pure gauze or bandage on your finger and lead your finger with gauze into the larynx. The bone after such a “procedure” will remain in the gauze.

The most, to put it mildly, unusual advice: paint a candle, stick a bone into it, wait until the paraffin freezes, and pull it out. I think everyone will agree that it is not worth it! Just imagine what would happen if the melted paraffin hit the larynx!

Some believe that the bone in the throat is a trifle, to disturb the doctor, and especially to call an ambulance, is not worth it. Doctors claim that even because of the smallest bone in the throat can be very serious problems and injuries. And that you need to call an ambulance, and without delay.





DepositPhotos ENT in the clinic often cannot detect a fish bone in the throat. Therefore, it is better to go to the endoscopist. First you will take a picture or endoscopic examination of the upper esophagus.

Then, knowing exactly where the bone is, they will extract it with special tools (perhaps under anesthesia!). Perhaps even after visiting the doctor, you will feel that the bone is still in place. Don't worry, it's a temporary effect.

To get rid of this feeling, get under a warm shower, it will help to relax all muscles. You should also gargle with anti-inflammatory drugs for a while to relieve inflammation and avoid infection of the wound.

If you don’t see a bone yourself, don’t experiment, don’t look for ways to pull a fish bone out of your throat. Call an ambulance. Emergency doctors, if they can not detect a bone without special mirrors, then they will take you to where specialists will cope with this problem.
