Crab shells stuck in the throat can be removed by yourself using small clean tweezers or by a doctor with the help of a laryngoscope.
A crab shell stuck in the throat is a foreign body in the throat. If you can see the crab shell stuck in your throat with your naked eyes, ask your family members or friends to use clean tweezers or other instruments to gently remove the crab shell from your body. Be gentle during the removal process to avoid irritating the mucous membrane of the throat.
If the crab shells are not visible to the naked eye, the crab shells may be stuck deep in the throat. In this case, an otolaryngologist should be called in to use a laryngoscope to determine the location of the crab shells, which can be removed with the help of laryngoscopic forceps.
Crab shells are hard and can cause damage to the mucous membrane of the throat, making it easy for pathogens such as bacteria to infect the larynx. Antibiotics such as roxithromycin capsules can be taken to prevent or treat infections.
Crab shells stuck in the throat can not be swallowed on their own, need to consult the otolaryngology, clear cause of the disease and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
