What if you get stuck in your throat by a fishbone? These three things are not to be done.
1. Never swallow food, such as rice balls and steamed bread.
Does this scene familiar? The first step is to eat a big rice ball as soon as the fish spine is stuck in your throat. It seems that a mouthful of rice ball can wrap up the fish's spine to the stomach. In fact, this method is very unscientific. The swallowing of rice balls will not only cause the danger of choking, but also make the fish thorns penetrate deeper into the throat, which is difficult to remove.
2. Never drink a swig of water or vinegar
Don't keep drinking boiled water or soup after your throat is stuck with fish bones. Because your throat has been stuck with fish bones, you continue to do swallowing, it is easy to cause the displacement of fish bones, and even the deepening of fish bones, which causes considerable harm.
It is said that vinegar will soften the fish bones, but in fact, the acidity of vinegar can not soften the fish bones at all. Are the spines in boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili usually soft? Vinegar also stimulates contraction of the esophagus, and fish spines may be more likely to pierce the esophagus.
3. Never dig with your fingers
When the fishbone is stuck in the throat, don't use tools or fingers to dig the throat. This will not only cause nausea and vomiting, but also easily deepen the location of the fish spine jam, causing more serious symptoms. You can try to look at your throat in a mirror, but don't reach out your fingers or clamp it with tweezers. In case of instability, it will aggravate the pain.
The correct way to catch fish bones is to open your mouth and let others see where they are tuck. If the position is shallow, you can see it with eye, then you can use tweezers with the help of others. If the fish bone have a deeper position and you can't see it, you should go to the hospital in time. The doctor will use professional equipment and techniques to remove the fish bones. If we take the wrong approach, will not only fail to solve the problem, but also risk our lives.
Some friends feel it was not very serious when they got a fish bone stuck in their throat. And they think fish bones will go down on their down in a few days, there was not need to take any measures. These are all wrong concepts. If we delay for too long , it may cause throat infections and other complication.
