Eat fish in the New Year, more than every year!
But when eating fish, things like fish bones stuck in the throat are sometimes inevitable.
Let's start with a small question for you:
If you don't choose D, beware!
Last year, we wrote a real and sad case of a murderer who had an inappropriate treatment in addition to fish bones.

The spines in the fish's head are relatively large and hard, stuck in the esophagus and have not been treated in time, and tragedy has happened...
Some people will say that eating fish is too terrible, and they will never eat fish again. In fact, even if the small and soft fish bones are stuck, the risk of causing heavy bleeding and even death is still relatively small, and it is better to go to the hospital in time to remove it.
Fish spines stuck throat, can hang emergency department or otolaryngology Oh.
In addition to large fish bones, some chicken bones, duck bones, small lamb ribs, etc., may also be stuck in the esophagus. Because they are relatively hard, they gradually corrode, puncture the esophagus and aorta, form abscesses, and even cause fatal injuries [1-3].
Don't believe it! Fish bones and broken bones really have such power!
Swallowed by a fish thorn or broken bone, the 3 parts of the esophagus that are most likely to get stuck are the 3 physiological narrowness of the esophagus.
(Tencent Medical Code)
Getting stuck in the second physiological stenosis of the esophagus is the most dangerous, which is close to the aortic arch and can cause heavy bleeding and be life-threatening if punctured.
Clinically, there are also cases of fish spines that, after swallowing into the stomach, pierce the stomach and injure abdominal organs (such as the pancreas) [4], but this is very unlikely.
Swallowing rice and drinking vinegar is not completely useless, otherwise it would not have been passed down as a "magic recipe" to this day.
Small, soft fish bones, with earthenware such as swallowing steamed buns, rice or drinking vinegar, can also be carried down with you if you are lucky.
But if you're unlucky, it might be

Drinking vinegar also does not soften fish bones. Studies have found that fish bones should be soaked in 2% acetic acid for 60 minutes, and then heated at 120 °C for 60 minutes to achieve a better osteomalacia effect [5].
Wake up
If you swallow a relatively large fish bone or broken bone, feel pain in the throat, esophagus and other parts, and cannot be relieved by simple methods such as coughing and vomiting, you must go to the hospital as soon as possible.
When the spines are stuck and the position of the fish bones is not deep, the doctor can usually take them out relatively easily, and the risk of complications is not high.
However, if the soil method is used indiscriminately, it will only make the fish bones deeper and deeper, and once it is inserted into the esophagus, it will need to be surgically treated.

Tips
Fish bones stuck in the throat three steps
The first step is to try coughing to see if you can make the fish spines fall off.
If the spines are small, try coughing vigorously, and the tiny spines may fall off with the airflow.
The second step, the visible fish bones, let the family try to take them with tweezers.
Ask your family to look at it with a flashlight, and if you are stuck in a shallow position that can be seen by the naked eye, you can try to clip it out with tweezers.
The third step is to go to the hospital quickly!
If you can't cough up, your family is still shaking and don't dare to get started, so go to the hospital to get it!
