Brief Answer:
no it will not dissolve

Detailed Answer:
Hello

From your history i can only guess that you have swallowed some meat and the bone is stuck in your throat , there are currently no medications available to dissolve this bone and it is advisable that you get it removed surgically using endoscopes otherwise it can lead to an infection and increasing difficulty in swallowing.

Please dont worry as this is not a very complicated procedure and you will be fine once it is removed.


Please meet your doctor for further advice and treatment.

Take care

Brief Answer:
please take your medications

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Well , if you have already been examined by three ent doctors the it is likely that the diagnosis of heartburn is true and I would like you to follow their advice and take your medications.

Please avoid hot and spicy food , take light meals and avoid oil,cheese, fats , tea and coffee for a few days and you will start feeling better.

But if symptoms persists / if you still doubt it is bone stuck in there, you can ask the doctors to perform an endoscopy.
