Suggest Treatment For Fish Bones Stuck In The Throat

Posted on Wed, 12 Jul 2017

Question: I swolled a lot of tiny bendable fish bones in Mt. Trout fish. Will I be ok?

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (6 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not a cause of concern unless they have been stuck in your throat

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Swallowing a lot of fish bones will not cause any problems. If they have entered you stomach, the gastric acids will disintegrate them. However, if they have got lodged in your throat, they would need to be removed. Unless that is the case you need not worry. Let me know if you have fish bones lodged in your throat.

I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Brief Answer:
No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. If you do not have them lodged in your throat you do not have the slightest reason to worry about. In fact they would act as a rich source of calcium.

Feel free to write back.
