Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I read your message and understood your problem.
Foreign bodies in the throat is a condition that has some typical symptoms. I will list them here. The sensation of something present in your throat, drooling and vomiting, chest pain, difficulty swallowing, gagging, and cough as well.
There are many home remedies used to remove the bones stuck in your throat. Eating nuts, bananas, marshmallows or bread help in removing the bone as they are a kind of a sticky food that attach the bone and help get it down as you swallow. Coughing harder and stronger as much as you can is the first thing to try.
If the situation is a kind of serious you must seek medical help from an ENT doctor.
Hope this is helpful.
