What Can Be Done If A Salmon Bone Is Stuck Inside Throat?

Swallowed a salmon bone three days ago and it feels like it is still there . Horrible sore throat on one side . Tried all the home remedies , including rice , bananas , dry bread . Could the pain be from the bone going down and scratching my throat or is it more likely that the bone is still stuck ?

helloo...read thru ur query...accordingly i must say that our body has a number of mechanisms to move the stuff in the foodpipe down to the stomach..so u dont have to be worried about the bone to be stuck there...its a feeling that while going down it might have scratched the pipe thats causing a problem...drink lots and lots of water,have banana and rice drink lots of liquids also...if in case its stuck(less chance)let it go down..once it reaches the stomach our stomach contains acids and enzymes(its said that acids and enzymes in our stomach can digest a block of iron its so powerful)will digest it...so dont worry continue this for few days..and still pain or problems meet an ent surgeon and use various diagnostic measures and get treatment done...hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!
