What to do immediately if a fish bone sticks to your throat

Certain bony fish, such as sardines, can be difficult to eat without swallowing their bones. Removing fish bones while eating can be a nuisance and can also be a problem when they get stuck in your throat.

According to Healthline, swallowing a fish bone might result in throat soreness, coughing, and occasionally blood spitting. It's an uncomfortable sensation that necessitates acting straight away. You must take the bone out of your neck.
