fish bone stuck in throat. Coughing and choaking- could feel it pricking throat tissue when throat pressed on outside. , Went to small local A&E. Nurse took blood pressure - normal. Advised cans of coke from machine, said would soften bone and dislodge it. Finished one can and was sick twice. Nurse said more coke and bread, which i ve done at home-- more vomiting. Bone now feels like it s moved further down throat (top of windpipe area) Throat very painful. And i m scared. Should i attend larger A&E tomorrow if no improvement? Nurse said they d keep me overnight.... i don t wana stay in! Anything else you advise? Thank you.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Read and understood your history of foreign body sensation in throat due to fish bone. You and the nurse have already tried cocke and bread and now you feel that the fish bone has shifted down . This indicates that you have to undergo endoscopy to know the truth and remove the fishbone if it is present. I would advise you to go to the ER, get assistance for endoscopy to confirmation whether foreign body. Is present or not and to remove if present.
