Today, on the third day of the Chinese New Year, many people are busy walking with relatives.
These days of big fish and big meat, you are familiar with such a scene:
At the dinner table
The person next to him was suddenly stuck by the fish thorn
At this time, everyone is persuading
Swallow the rice/vinegar and swallow it
But in fact, it is wrong to do so!
The danger of fish spines stuck in the throat!
The "fish spine stuck throat" itself is very uncomfortable, the ancients had clouds, such as fish in the throat, referring to the throat there are fish bones.
In the short term, the area where the fish spines are stuck will be accompanied by tingling, a pronounced foreign body sensation, and will also affect eating, resulting in congestion, edema, and symptoms such as hoarseness, stridor, and sore throat to varying degrees.
If the fish spines go deeper and enter the esophagus, it will also cause symptoms of a foreign body in the esophagus, sometimes even lead to perforation of the esophagus, causing infection, and because the esophagus is located in the entire thoracic cage, heavy infection can also lead to abscesses, and even empyema.
More serious conditions can also lead to rupture of the aorta, resulting in major bleeding and other conditions, which are very life-threatening conditions, so the case of fish with a throat that is stuck in the spine needs to be treated immediately once it is diagnosed.
1, fish spines stuck throat, these methods do not work
Drink vinegar to soften the fish bones, ok? No way!
Old vinegar can indeed achieve the purpose of softening fish bones, but the premise is to soak for a long time.
An experiment was conducted in which two fish bones of different sizes were soaked in aged vinegar for 1 hour, and it turned out that the fish bones did not soften.
Moreover, the throat is up and down, drinking more vinegar, but also only through the throat, and one end of the fish thorn is stuck in the tissue, can not touch the vinegar, so drink vinegar can not play a role in softening the fish bones, drinking too much vinegar will also hurt the body.
Swallow rice and push the fish to the top? No way!
Swallowing new food, sometimes, soft and small, not so deep will be taken down, but there is also a part, the more swallowed will be deeper, which will cause throat infection suppuration, to the next step of treatment to create obstacles, so this is a risky method.
Swallowing steamed buns and swallowing rice will make the fish spines go deeper, which will increase the difficulty of extraction, and at the same time, it will cause infections, ulcers, etc., and even, puncture the esophagus or puncture blood vessels, which is more risky.
This can't work, that can't work, can you use your hands to cut it? Still not!
The structure of the throat is quite complex, not just a pipe as we think of it, and if you don't pay attention, it is easy to hurt other organs.
At the same time, as with the practice of swallowing rice and swallowing steamed buns, it is not only difficult to find out the tiny fish bones with hand cutting, but also may push it into other tissues and organs, causing more serious damage.
2. How to deal with the fish's throat?
save oneself
Stuck by the fish thorn, the most scientific way is to stop eating, you can try to cough repeatedly, one hand clenched fist, the other hand grabbed the fist, placed on their abdomen, quickly poured on the back of the chair, back corner, quickly do forward pressure action, promote cough to drive out foreign bodies. Tiny fish bones may fall off with the air currents.
Medical treatment
If the fish spines are large and hard, the sting is intense, or the neck and chest tingling are obvious, then do not think too much, immediately go to the hospital emergency department, find an ear, nose and throat department, and ask a professional doctor to deal with it. This is the best and most reliable option.
