The most effective treatment for a fishbone is to remove the fishbone, and if complications occur, appropriate symptomatic treatment is required. A fishbone can be removed by visualization, instrument-assisted removal or surgery. 1. Visual removal: If others cannot remove the fishbone, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital so that the doctor can use professional tweezers to remove the fishbone to minimize the damage to the mucous membrane of the throat and esophagus. 2. Instrument-assisted removal: If the fishbone is stuck in a deeper position and cannot be removed by tweezers, laryngoscopy or gastroscopy can be performed to remove the fishbone according to the doctor’s instructions. 3. Surgery: If the fishbone passes into the cervical or thoracic cavity, cervical incision or thoracotomy can be performed to remove the fishbone. If you can’t cough out the fishbone by yourself, we suggest you to go to the hospital in time so that the doctor can take it out.
