How to do if a bone is stuck in the esophagus

If the bone is stuck in the esophagus, the patient is advised to do the following treatment: First, the patient is not advised to use buns or rice balls to swallow hard, nor is the patient advised to repeatedly try to dry vomit and other methods to get the bone out, these methods are difficult to get the bone out, but will aggravate the condition. Second, it is recommended that the patient should go to the ENT department to improve the CT examination of the esophagus to roughly determine the location of the bone and the adjacent relationship between the bone and the esophageal mucosa. If the bone is in the first stenosis, you can do electronic gastroscopy or esophagoscopy to remove the foreign body bone, which should be smoother. In some patients, the location of the foreign body bone in the esophagus is deeper, in the second stenosis and very close to the aortic arch, there is a certain risk when taking it out, especially if the patient’s bone has been there for a long time and is embedded with the mucosa of the esophagus, it may be necessary to ask thoracic surgery for open-heart treatment. Bone stuck inside the esophagus requires the patient to go to the hospital as soon as possible, without treatment it is easy to increase the risk, and the bone is a foreign body, also easy to induce esophageal infection, resulting in esophageal perforation bleeding and other related risks.
