Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Throat Caused By Swallowing A Fish Bone
Hi, I swallowed a fish bone about a week ago, I m not sure if its still there but I ve tried some natural remedies -like drinking salt water- that I read online. My throat still hurts. Swallowing is hard and brings pain, I m not sure but I think its starting to swell. Please help.

Hello,
It may be due to tonsillitis. For that continue Saline or Betadine gargles twice a day. In case of fever you may require antibiotics after physician consultation. Take hygienic food and water. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
