A fishbone got stuck in my throat. Any good ideas?

When eating fish, the fishbone is often accidentally stuck in the throat. Some people gobble up rice, feed or swallow long leeks, and intend to swallow the fishbone. This method is not safe, and it will also cause fishbone to pierce the pharynx and esophagus, causing serious consequences. It is best to try the following methods.

Don't panic in this situation, especially children, lest they cry, suck the fishbone down their throat, or lie down and despise the car? /P & gt；

Ask the patient to open his mouth wide, observe the size and position of the fishbone with a flashlight, and clip it out with tweezers if it is pulled.

If the fishbone is small, you can drink a few mouthfuls of vinegar, or put a piece of ebony (peeled) and some sugar in your mouth to soften the fishbone, and then eat steamed bread, cakes and so on. Let the fishbone be swallowed with the food.

When the fishbone is big, you should go to the otolaryngology department immediately.

First-aid method of fishbone stab wound

When eating fish, accidentally sticking the fishbone in your throat can also cause great trouble. If it causes a fire, it may take a long time to see a doctor.

Emergency treatment

Smaller fishbones sometimes slide down naturally with swallowing. If you feel tingling, you can illuminate the oropharynx with a flashlight and lower the back of your tongue with a spoon. Carefully check the pharyngeal isthmus, mainly on both sides of the throat entrance, because this is the place where fishbone is most likely to get stuck. If it is found that the thorn is not big or deep, it can be clipped out with long tweezers.

Matters needing attention

1. No matter how you swallow a bigger or deeper fishbone, the pain will not be relieved. If there are no fishbones around the throat and entrance, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

2. When the fishbone gets stuck in the throat, never let the patient swallow large pieces of steamed bread, pancakes and other food. Although sometimes the fishbone can be taken out in this way, sometimes this improper treatment not only fails to take out the fishbone, but also makes the fishbone deeper and more unsuitable to take out, which is even more troublesome when it is infected and inflamed.

If you can't remove the fishbone after swallowing, don't do it yourself. Sometimes the fishbone has fallen off, but it still stings. So wait and see. If you still feel unwell, you must go to the hospital for treatment. This is also the most suitable way to deal with fishbone stab wounds.

4. The statement that fishbone pricks throat is incorrect. Most fishbones grow at the base of the tongue or at the entrance to the throat.

Fishbone stuck in the throat is the most common. Under normal circumstances, foreign bodies such as fishbone, bone residue and fruit shell are most likely to penetrate into the lower part of tonsil and tongue root, while jujube stones are easy to get stuck in esophagus. If a foreign body is stuck, a person's throat will feel tingling or foreign body sensation. If the foreign body is large, it is difficult to swallow. If the foreign body stimulates the laryngeal mucosa, it will cause severe cough and dyspnea due to reflex laryngeal spasm and foreign body obstruction, and there may be different degrees of wheezing, aphonia and sore throat. The most serious thing is that if the foreign body is large and embedded in the glottis, it will soon cause suffocation and death.

When you encounter fishbone in your throat, you can first try to press the first half of your tongue with a spoon or toothbrush handle, and carefully observe the root of your tongue, tonsils and posterior pharyngeal wall under strong light. If you can find the fishbone, you can use tweezers or chopsticks to clip it out. If the above methods don't work, or if the pain is aggravated and the foreign body sensation is more obvious after swallowing liquid food, you should go to the hospital immediately to see the emergency department. Never swallow vegetables and steamed bread forcibly, thinking that you can take the thorns down the esophagus, which will only make the thorns plunge deeper into the esophagus or get stuck in the esophagus, causing more serious consequences.

If there are other foreign bodies stuck in your throat, one way is to spit them out as much as possible. Or bend down, the child holds his head down and lies between the legs of the rescuer, and the rescuer slaps his palm between the shoulder blades of the patient's back four times. If the foreign matter is still not discharged, the above actions can be repeated. If necessary, the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
