Suggest Treatment For Bone Stuck In Throat
My 9 yo son appears to have swallowed a chicken bone at dinner. He is complaining of pain when swallowing but is able to drink & even eat soft things (bread and bananas). He is convinced that something is stuck in his upper throat area. Do I need to take him to the ER or can it wait until morning?

Hi, i have read your question in detail and since your child is continuously saying that something has stuck in neck, its leads to a possibility of bone stuck there. In my opinion, the child should be immediately taken to er and gets his throat examined. I hope this has helped you. Take care.
