Detailed Answer:
hello and thank you for sending the question.
Since you swallow this chicken bone two weeks ago and still have symptoms, this is concerning that the bone is actually lodged in part of your esophagus.
For this reason I think you need to contact your primary care physician for a referral to a gastroenterologist. The gastroenterologist can use a tiny camera to look inside your esophagus and possibly remove the bone.
Again since her symptoms have been persistent for two weeks it is now time to seek professional medical treatment.
Thank you again for sending your question.
