What Is The Treatment For Swollen And Painful Throat?

Hi, there is a small fish bone down the left side of my throat and I already swallowed a bunch of rice, drank a small sip of rice vinegar to melt it down, and drank a lot of water. I even tried to make myself throw up so it goes back out. How can I take it out and if I go to the ER, will it be a painful process to take out the fish bone? Can I ignore it for a couple days?

U need to cooperate and stay still during removal.this all applies if done under local Anaesthesia as an opd procedure or else u would be in. Ot - short proc no pain
