Fish spikes stuck in the throat usually do not heal themselves, especially the larger ones that have to be removed in time. Otherwise, it can easily lead to complications such as local infection of the throat or perforation of the esophagus. The main component of a fish spike is calcium. The human throat does not have digestive glands, so it cannot secrete gastric juices that can digest calcium like the stomach does. However, if the fish spike stuck in the throat is small and moves with swallowing, such a small fish spike may be transported to the stomach, where it is then broken down by stomach acid. However, a large fish spike stuck in the throat is usually immovable and causes a strong foreign body sensation in the body that should not be ignored. When a fish spike gets stuck in the throat, it is recommended to go to the hospital and register with the ENT department so that the doctor can help remove it, otherwise the wound in the throat will fester and become infected, thus causing more damage to the throat.
