What to do if a child gets a fishbone

The best way for a child to get a fishbone is to go to the ENT department of a hospital immediately, where a laryngoscope will be used to remove the fishbone. If the child is uncooperative, the laryngoscope will be used to remove the fishbone after the child has been put to sleep through intravenous anesthesia. Do not try to swallow steamed bread or rice, because if not handled correctly, the fishbone will be stuck deeper, possibly damaging the trachea and esophagus, or even damaging large blood vessels, which can lead to serious consequences.
