How can I remove fish bone from my throat, I have already tried apples, bread and banana?
Getting a fish bone stuck in the throat is quite irritating and if you have already tried techniques like bread, bananas, and apples, it is probably time for you to visit the doctor to extricate the bone from your throat. Since all the remedies that you have tried out have failed, it would seem that the bone in question is either very small, or is lodged facing the direction of your food pipe. This means that there might be some sense in trying to induce vomiting to dislodge the bone. If this doesn’t work then your last and best shot is to use an acid to dissolve the bone. Considering the consistency of fish bones, it would be useful to use white vinegar. This is commonly used for cooking as well as for cleaning to get rid of mineral deposits. The only problem with using this therapy is the risk of esophageal injury; therefore, dilute it if it burns your esophagus too much.
The usually procedure that is advised when you have a fishbone stuck in your throat is to try and locate it if it is stuck in the area of the pharynx. This is exactly at the back of your mouth and the start of your throat. If it is visible, you should try to get it out using a pair of blunt scissors, forceps, or tweezers. Anything stuck beyond this area will require some hard food to extricate the bone along with the normal peristaltic movements. This is the reason that eating bread is required but you should use hard bread and preferably not chew it when you swallow. This might take some getting used to or getting right but if you are successful the peristaltic movement of the muscles squeezing food down will yank the bone out of the flesh and send it to the stomach where it will be dissolved in the acids of the stomach. Stomach acids are also the reason why white vinegar is advised because sipping this liquid, while chewing some bread, will slowly start to dissolve the bone to the point where it won’t stick out of the flesh of the throat. The only drawback of this approach is that you might end up leaving some part of the bone in your throat but in time this will also come out.
The best treatment is, however, to just go to a doctor and let him use an endoscopic probe to remove the bone. This is the best thing that you could do.
