What to do if a fish bone gets stuck in your throat

Fish often stars in exquisite dishes in our cuisine, but - why not say it - it can also pose a danger to our throat. Its spines can be accidentally ingested and become stuck or adhered at some point in the digestive tract.

There are certain foods that can help lower the spine easily into the stomach, where it will be eliminated by gastric juices. They are products that are easily found in any pantry, since they are part of the basic elements of our kitchen. First, it would be advisable to try coughing, since it is our body's defense mechanism and the one that best expels a foreign body from any of the respiratory or digestive tracts where it is located. Always, of course, that it is a small thorn that only bothers.

If the cough does not relieve us of the presence of the thorn in our throat, we can resort to eating any of these foods:

If after trying any of these foods the thorn is still stuck, never, under any circumstances, try to extract it with your fingers or any other utensil, especially if we do not have eye contact. This manipulation could cause further damage and end up with an infection in the area.

In this case, you will have to go to the doctor to observe and identify the problem to find a solution, which does not always end up being surgical.
