What to do if you get a small bone in your stomach

Small bones eaten into the stomach should be based on the shape of the bone and whether there is stuck and other circumstances to determine the appropriate treatment, commonly used general treatment and surgical treatment. 1. General treatment: if the small bone is rounded in shape and enters into the stomach, it can be digested and absorbed or partially absorbed under the action of gastric acid, and finally excreted with feces, and can be closely observed. 2. Surgery: If the bone is sharp like a fishbone, it can puncture the esophagus or gastrointestinal mucosa, and needs to be removed by endoscopy, and if it is difficult to remove it by endoscopy, it can be removed by surgery. If the bone is embedded in the narrowed part of the esophagus, it should be removed endoscopically as soon as possible to prevent damage to the esophagus. If there is any discomfort after eating a small bone, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible and receive standardized treatment under the doctor’s guidance to avoid delaying the condition.
