If a bone gets stuck in the esophagus from gulping down food or laughing or playing, it is usually necessary to stop eating and drinking and go to the hospital to have the bone removed in a timely manner. Once a bone is stuck in the esophagus, it is important to go to the hospital as it can cause localized inflammation and bleeding if it remains there for more than seventy-two hours. Most bones or fish spikes can be removed with a laryngoscope. If the laryngoscope is unable to remove the bone, the doctor will use a variety of instruments to remove the bone under the direct vision of a gastroscope. If the patient has a chronic medical condition or esophageal complication or if the bone cannot be removed by gastroscopy, the patient will need to be hospitalized and in severe cases, surgery will be required. When a bone gets stuck in the esophagus, eating and drinking should be stopped. Trying to swallow the bone by eating food such as rice balls and steamed buns is incorrect and may cause the bone to get stuck deeper and tighter, or even scratch the esophagus. Eating and drinking also affects the gastroscopic field of view, and painless gastroscopy must be prohibited from drinking for 4 to 6 hours before it can be performed. When eating, you need to chew slowly and concentrate on eating, which can effectively prevent a foreign body from getting stuck in the esophagus. When a foreign body is stuck in the esophagus, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner, and the use of local methods may delay the condition or cause adverse reactions.
