If a fish bone becomes lodged in the throat, it can lead to discomfort, coughing, and even bloody spitting according to an article written by Healthline. It's a bad situation that calls for quick action. The bone in your throat needs to be extracted.
1. Carbonated drinks, for example, can be guzzled down in a short amount of time. Carbonated drinks contain gas that will displace the fish bone in your throat. If you do this, it will be less of a bother to swallow.
2. If you are fortunate enough to come upon a solid food item, like a slice of bread, you can quickly and easily ingest it. Doing so can aid in the process of forcing the bones down into the stomach. Then, immediately after taking a mouthful, wash it down with water. The discomfort in your throat might be alleviated by using cough medicines or gargling with salt water according to studies.
3. if a fish bone suddenly becomes caught in your throat, you shouldn't make any sounds. Just inhale deeply, then lean your head back and cough vigorously.
By doing so, you can expel the bone from your neck. Perform a scratching motion on the base of your throat with a fingertip and you'll get the same effect.
4. Eat some bananas, number four. Bananas have the ability to grasp the fish bones and force them deeper into the stomach. Eat an apple or an orange, or any other fruit high in citric acid. Their acidity can break down fish bones, making them simpler to swallow and less likely to cause any discomfort in the throat according to studies.
5. Calm down and don't freak out. Panicking won't help, especially if you've recently eaten something spicy.
Don't worry about it, just chill out and ensure the heat in your stomach stays there and doesn't make its way up your nose and throat. Honey is a good choice, or try olive oil. This will soften your throat so you can more easily swallow the fishbone.
