Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is not certain that the soft foods and the fluids would have dislodged the fish bone stuck up in the throat.
The anatomical structure of the throat is such that small objects like fish bone can get stuck up in the throat.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical examination.
The ENT specialist will look up the throat using special instruments.
Once viewed the object can be removed.
Thanks and take care
