Getting a fish bone which is stuck in the throat is not usually a serious issue, but it can cause some complications. The accidental ingestion of fish bones is very common. Fish bones, particularly of the pinbone variety, are tiny and may be easily missed while preparing fish or when chewing. They have sharp edges and odd shapes that make them more likely than other food to get stuck in the throat. If a fish bone gets stuck in your throat, it can be painful and frightening. Fortunately, this is so common that there are established tips and tricks for getting fish bones unstuck.
Do the following when you find yourself or somebody choked with fishbone:
1 . Cough forcefully;
Coughing is a natural mechanism that the body uses to offload unwanted items that are in your throat. Forceful coughing can dislodge any fishbone forming a blockade in your throat. It should not be your only reliable solution. You can try for a few seconds. If it is not helpful, try another
2 . Take in banana;
A banana is a fruit that is known to be very easy to swallow. This is due to the soft nature of the fruit. It helps to push the fishbone down one’s throat without any further scraping of your throat. The banana frees the blockage quickly without any injury, and you also get to enjoy the sweet fruit.
3 . Use Olive oil;
Oil is a lubricant. Taking in olive oil after you get choked by fishbone will help dislodge the blockage. Taking in a few spoons maybe three is enough to help stop the choking.
My team and I advice that you always stay cautious when you take in fish. Try to take out the bones first before you take in the fish so that you do not get choked.
Thanks.
