What should I do if I get a fishbone stuck in my throat?

This is a very common and relevant question. If it’s small and shallow, sometimes you can spit it out and cough it up on your own, and if it’s stuck inside the muscle and it’s located in the back of the pharynx, that is, it’s located more upward, you can remove it with forceps under direct vision. However, if the foreign body in the hypopharynx, or even in the laryngopharynx or the laryngeal cavity, it needs to be removed by the doctor with special tools, indirect laryngoscope or direct laryngoscope, sometimes fiberoptic laryngoscope, and foreign body forceps. If stabbing into the pharyngeal wall occurs in the back of the pharynx, parapharyngeal abscess, sometimes it is also necessary to remove the foreign body by incision and drainage of pus through the mouth or lateral neck incision to remove the fishbone. Never force swallowing, drinking vinegar, with this method of forced swallowing, hoping to swallow swallowed into the stomach, is a very high risk treatment, because the esophagus is next to the heart, if in the process of swallowing fish splinter pierced the esophagus, piercing the heart, can cause people’s lives are in danger, in the clinic often see the fish splinter stuck in the throat, and therefore mishandled, forced to swallow, stuck in the heart and lost his life.
