Can a fish poke heal itself in a week?

If a fishbone is embedded in the throat or digestive tract for a week, it usually cannot heal on its own and requires removal of the fishbone in a specialized medical institution and, if necessary, the use of anti-infective drugs. If the fishbone is embedded for a long time and not dislodged, it usually cannot be dislodged by itself only by the clearing effect of the esophagus, and the prolonged embeddedness of the fishbone damages the mucous membrane tissue, which may result in serious complications such as local infections, esophageal perforation, and mediastinal infections, etc. It is recommended to go to a professional medical institution immediately to use professional medical devices to remove the fishbone after professional evaluation of the condition of the fishbone. If there is a combination of localized infected abscess, or systemic fever and other symptoms, anti-infective treatment with penicillin, cefuroxime and other drugs may also be required. Medications must be used under the direction of a physician. After the occurrence of fishbone embedded, if you can’t remove it by yourself, it is not recommended to use food such as rice balls to forcefully squeeze to remove it, in order to avoid damage to the mucous membrane of the throat and esophagus, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time, and have the fishbone removed by a professional doctor.
