What Causes Sensation Of Something Stuck In Throat?
I may have swallowed a small soft bone from dinner last evening ( salmon filet). I have a slight feeling of something in my throat. It is not causing any gagging, shortness of breath or any other symptoms of something lodged. It is just a slight feeling / agrivation that something is there in my throat. Will a small fish bone break down over time?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you had Salmon fish and after that you have felling of something struck in throat which is a condition you should immediately be concerned about. That piece of bone acting as an obstruction there and which could pass in any wrong passage . This piece accumulating microorganisms there and acting as foreign body. I would suggest you to visit ENT surgeon specialist is Otolaryngologist for this condition. Get a fibrooptic scan done and a very minor procedure is required which which will eliminate this piece struck there. This is an emergent situation so visit physician as soon as possible.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
As per your query bone is a hard structure and while passing throug the throat it might have cause mild laceration in the lining of the throat mucosa and due to which there seems to be slight swelling and discomfort and feeling of something lodged in the throat..
You need not to worry about it as there is nothing seems struck into throat and as the inflammation and swelling will subside you will start feeling normal..
You can take a soft diet, drink plenty of cold water and take anti-inflammatory medication like Advil a it will reduce inflammation and swelling and ease the throat..
In future also avoid swallowing bone or hard structures as it can injure the throat..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards..
