A fish spike stuck in the throat will not melt on its own. If a fish spike is stuck in the throat, the patient should not blindly handle it on his own, but should go to the hospital for professional treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition. The main component of a fish spike is calcium, but the human throat does not have digestive glands and cannot secrete gastric juice to break down calcium like the stomach does, so a fish spike stuck in the throat cannot dissolve by itself. If the fish spike is small and stuck in the superficial part of the throat, it can be loosened and slid into the stomach by dry coughing and dry vomiting. However, if the patient has obvious pain or a strong pinching sensation when swallowing, or even dares not swallow saliva or touch the throat, it means that the fish spike is stuck deep or too large. At this point, it is important to stop eating immediately to avoid the fish spike entering the esophagus and causing local infection, esophageal perforation, etc. When the fish spike is stuck in the throat and cannot be relieved, you should go to the ENT or emergency department to have the fish spike removed by laryngoscopy.
