The story goes like this
During the pandemic, I stayed at home for a month
Mom and Dad change their tricks every day to study new dishes
Feed me into a happy fat house
That day, my mother had just served the milky white fish soup to the table
I couldn't wait to serve a bowl
The aroma was overflowing, grunting, and a mouthful of soup went down to the stomach
Wrong! It was as if the throat was stuck by something
I subconsciously swallowed again, the tingling sensation intense
OMG
A fish thorn, gloriously lying into a comfortable hotbed
- My throat!
Every time you swallow it, the taste is called a sour feeling!
Small scenes, don't panic! I told myself
There was also a bowl of rice in front of me
Pick up chopsticks and grab a few large mouthfuls of rice, but – useless!
Holding your nose and drinking vinegar is useless
Let dad push his back with internal force, or it is useless
The pain is getting stronger!
In this way, i was jumped up and down by a fish thorn
Handsome me, there is nothing decent to speak of
What else could I do, after tossing for more than half an hour
I put on my mask and went out to take a taxi
Went to the nearest hospital without a fever clinic
Hung up on the ENT
The doctor first pressed the plate with a cold tongue
Check that the fish bones are not around the tonsils
This caused me severe nausea
Decency is gone again
The doctor downplayed it: this is a normal pharyngeal reflex
Next, do the laryngoscope
With the assistance of local anesthesia and laryngoscopy
Fish bones were finally found
Thankfully, the fish bones did not get stuck in the esophagus
Stuck in the place of the tonsil crypt
The situation is not bad
It is more hidden and difficult to find
That's it, a fish thorn
Ended my personal record of 31 consecutive days of silence
The matter of fish bones
Let's talk seriously about it
Where do fish bones usually get stuck?
The human esophagus is narrow in three places: the first is the entrance to the esophagus; the second is about 7 cm after the entrance to the esophagus, where the esophagus is attached to the aortic arch; and the third is where the esophagus is connected to the stomach.
(Schematic diagram of the "three narrownesses" of the esophagus)
Accident-prone areas: the first place, the throat visible to the naked eye, tonsils, tongue roots and other places. If the fish spine is stuck here, it will cause difficulty swallowing (the friend's fish bone is stuck here), the fish bone stuck on the inside of the tonsil is easier to find, if it is the lower pole of the tonsils, the pear-shaped nest, etc., it is necessary to rely on the doctor to find it.
Major accident areas: The second place is the most dangerous place, if the fish stab through the aorta, it may cause heavy bleeding.
Fewer accidents: It is very rare to get into the stomach, and it is also very dangerous to pass through many levels to such a depth.
The fish bones are stuck, how to save yourself at the first time?
First of all, to correct the story of a friend at the beginning, the matter of swallowing rice and drinking vinegar:
Many people like to use this kind of indigenous method to first aid, such as drinking vinegar, swallowing vegetables, drinking a lot of water, etc., trying to use the "swallowing" action to force the fish thorn down.
In fact, the action of "swallowing" is very dangerous! This may lead to deeper penetration of the fish bones, and the more difficult it is for doctors to find them, and it is necessary to rely on a gastroscope or esophageal mirror to take them. Drinking vinegar cannot dissolve fish bones, and may also stimulate the fragile throat and esophageal mucosa.
Effective and safe method:
Use a coughing motion to cause the fish bones to fall off
If the fish spines are small, you can try to cough hard, and the small fish bones will fall off with the air flow.
The visible fish bones can be taken with forceps
If you are stuck in a shallow position that can be seen by the naked eye, you can find a friend who does not shake his hands to help you clip it out with chopsticks or tweezers, but it is best to go to the hospital to get it, after all, professional things are still handed over to professional people.
The most important point: please consult a doctor in time for stinging pain
If the fish spines are large and hard, and you feel a strong tingling sensation in the neck and chest, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
Some fish bones can be done in 10 seconds, and some complex cases even need to be treated with open chests! (Hey, such a person is also a chosen son)
Therefore, it is best to eat carefully and chew slowly, and do not be anxious! Of course, if you want to eat fish and are afraid of more thorns, you can choose cod, perch, eel, dragon fish, which only have back spines and no small miscellaneous spines, and it is easier to eat.

Choked up from eating, this can save your life!
It is worth mentioning that there is also a case of "something stuck in the throat", which is easily confused with the fish thorn stuck in the throat, but the first aid method is completely different, that is, the airway foreign body.
"Choking to death" is something that kills people in a very short time: when people don't breathe, the heart stops beating. In general, if the heartbeat stops breathing for more than 4 to 6 minutes, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain.
If the person who is stuck can still make a sound in the throat, you can try to cough and cough something out;
If the patient cannot make any sound at all, indicating that the airway has been completely stuck and there is a risk of suffocation, the following Heimlich first aid method must be taken, so as to save lives in the first place.
For a person without any medical background, it is not difficult to learn this method, 1 minute can be.
For infants and young children under 1 year old, the back pat chest compression method can be used:
In short, take care of yourself, nothing is more important than your own health!
When studying cooking at home and tasting delicious "big meals", safety comes first, don't gobble it up!
