How to get rid of a fish bone in your throat?

Many people love fish. It is tasty and healthy. However, when eating from this product, gourmets may face an unexpected danger: a bone stuck in the throat.

Sometimes removing it is not easy.

Here are some simple ways to remove fish bones from your throat.

It is better to go straight to the trauma point. If you do not want to see a doctor, you can try to pull the bone out of your throat at home on your own.

Swallow several slices of bread. But this advice will only work if the bone is thin and small. In addition, there is a danger that the bone may enter even deeper.

Take a mirror in your hands, direct the light source into the oral cavity so that you can see the tonsils and the back of the throat. It is better if you have someone to help you hold the mirror or light source.

If you see a bone, use long tweezers to gently pull it out.

Wrap a piece of gauze around your finger and rub it in your throat. The bone will be “caught” on the gauze. The method helped many, just not everyone can get deep into their throats. Try it. But keep in mind: this way you can easily injure your throat, and then it will hurt even more.

In the event that you do not have tweezers on hand, take a thin wax candle. Heat one end of the candle over a flame and press the melted end against the bone until the wax hardens. Hold the candle until the wax hardens, which will take 30-40 seconds. Then remove the candle along with the waxed bone. Be careful not to press the candle against the bone, just press it lightly, otherwise you will push it deeper. This method is more suitable for large bones.

Try using honey to get rid of the bone in your throat. To do this, you need liquid honey, take a tablespoon and eat slowly. At the same time, do not forget to work well with the muscles of the larynx so that the fishbone can come into contact with the honey and lower the walls of the larynx.

If you can't see the bone, gargle with liquid. It is better if it is an antiseptic (calendula solution, Rotokan, etc.). The bone can come out under the action of the contraction of the pharyngeal muscles during rinsing, and an antiseptic will prevent inflammation in the wound.

1. Induce vomiting by applying finger pressure to the root of the tongue or by touching the back of the throat.

The method is based on the fact that vomit, passing through the pharynx, will carry the bone along

Prepare mashed potatoes or mash bananas, drizzle with a lot of vegetable oil. Eat the prepared mixture in large lumps without chewing. The method works similarly to the previous one, but in this case the bone, along with food, must pass further, into the esophagus and stomach.

There is another well-known method that was used in ancient times and continues to be used to this day. But this method is only suitable for adults. Give the person caught in the throat of the fishbone to sniff the tobacco (snuff). Due to the pungent and strong smell, it will cause a strong sneezing process. This will help get rid of the stuck bone. For a child, black pepper is suitable, which will cause the same reaction.
