How long does it take to get something stuck in your throat?

There are no data reports on how long it takes for something stuck in the throat to fall out. Some foreign bodies can be expelled through coughing, but if the foreign body is a stiff fishbone or broken bone, stuck deeper and pierced into the tissue, it often cannot fall off by itself and needs to go to the hospital for treatment. In general, if a fishbone or other sharp foreign body is stuck in the throat, it can be expelled by coughing moderately. However, if a foreign body is stuck in a deeper part of the throat, it cannot be discharged through deep coughing. If it is not discharged for a long time, it may lead to inflammation or bleeding in the affected area, and if the swelling is severe, asphyxiation may occur, which may cause serious damage to the health of the body. It is recommended that the patient seek medical attention in a timely manner, and after a systematic examination by a specialist to clarify the location of the foreign body, the patient should take appropriate measures to remove it.
