We are not unfamiliar with the scenario of eating fish sticks, which is professionally diagnosed as “foreign body in the throat” and is one of the common diseases in ENT department. “Doctor, I have a fish spike, please help me get it out!” Sometimes, the doctor’s hand to the disease, quite a sense of achievement, the patient is like a new life, the doctor’s skills praise; sometimes, the doctor search every corner of the throat may be hidden, not to say digging three feet, at least carpet search, but the crowd to find him a thousand degrees, just do not know where, depressed mood can be imagined but difficult to At the same time, patients are very uncomfortable after being close contact with instruments such as tongue depressors, gun-like forceps and even endoscopes, plus the culprit is not found is not happy. (Doctor-patient communication skills are especially important at this point.) It is because of the many sensations of receiving cases of stuck fish spikes that we will talk about this common and fickle disease below. First of all, the cause of the disease is often seen in the rushing of eating, talking and playing during meals, resulting in fish spikes stuck in the throat, which should be experienced by those who have had fish spikes! The following is the focus of this article, how to do when stuck with a fish spike? There are various folk remedies, the most common one is to drink vinegar, which is said to soften fish spikes. This is pure nonsense, the fish spur placed in vinegar soak for a day will not be softened, how can drink a mouthful or two to soften it? In addition, there are also ways to soften fish spikes by containing oranges or vitamin C in the mouth, and so on. However, even if the above-mentioned remedies do not solve the problem, they do not aggravate it, and there is another way to eat steamed buns (or other foods) that is even less desirable. In reality, it is true that some fish spines are brought down by gulping food and swallowed into the stomach, but most of them are compressed and stuck deeper or are broken, leading to the ENT doctor not being able to find them, which in turn causes throat and even neck infections with serious consequences. So what is the right way to do it? If you feel a fish spike, spit out the food you have not swallowed and go to the bathroom to induce vomiting (by pressing the root of the tongue with your index finger), most fish spikes can be spit out. If this method does not work, go to the hospital immediately. Other types of foreign bodies (e.g. dentures, tinfoil wrapping, etc.) are recommended to be seen directly at the hospital. The following is the prevention method for foreign bodies in the throat, which is actually very simple, but often ignored by most people. First, chew slowly, forbid playfulness during meals, do not talk loudly with food in your mouth; second, children need to eat beans and take pills, pills, etc. under parental supervision, and eat fish first by parents to pick out the thorns (sometimes it is difficult to pick clean, consider stewing crispy fish); third, older people’s medications can be divided with a medicine cup and taken on time.
