Suggest Treatment To Remove Bamboo Stick Stuck In Throat
Hi, I was eating meat off a satay stick and felt something in the back of my throat near base of my tongue. I figured it is a bamboo splinter. I tried swallowing, gargling, etc and it really seems lodged in there. Has not come out in 12 hours. Suggestions?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
Brief answer - Foreign Body Aspiration
As per your query you have bamboo stick stuck in throat and now its struck in your throat which gets invaded in wrong path and not finding its way to excrete out and causing obstruction there, which is definitely a major cause of concern. That bamboo stick acting act foreign body in that area and its accumulating microorganisms there and causing blockage.
I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist orotolaryngeolist as early as possible to get fibro-optic scan done for this. With the help of fibro-optic tip , a minor invasive procedure will eliminate it from your throat. Need not to panic about it, stay in peace.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
