All fish dishes are quite insidious and can be dangerous to your health. However, this time it does not mean the toxicity of a sea or river creature, as well as the degree of heat treatment. The presence of a large number of small but incredibly sharp bones in fish often becomes a real problem for humans. After all, it’s enough to not just look at what piece of goodies goes into your mouth at least once, as a sharp pain pierces your throat. The diagnosis is very clear - the bone is stuck in the soft tissues. And here it’s not time to continue the meal. Let's look at a few ways to get a bone out of my throat.
To begin, reassure the victim. Panic in this situation will only worsen his condition. Do not let a person try to get rid of a sudden disturbance. Set him on a chair and ask him to open his mouth wider, after carefully gently swallowing saliva so that it does not impede the examination. To make a stuck fish bone in the throat visible, shine a flashlight there or direct a beam from a table lamp. If it is close enough (for example, near the sky or in the tonsils), then it is quite possible to try to remove the interference yourself without resorting to the help of medical workers. Use tweezers for this. With the tip of the tool, try to grab the free part of the bone as tightly as possible and pull it towards you. She should go out freely.
The second way to help the victim, if he swallowed the fish bone, is to use a sterile bandage. Wind it in several layers on your finger or on a long thin object if the interference is somewhat deeper. In the second case, be careful that the bandage does not slip and does not remain in the patient's throat. Swipe your finger over where the bone entered. Due to the rough surface of the bandage, it should be carefully removed.
How to get a bone out of the throat if there is nothing suitable at hand for the role of an instrument? Try using a paraffin candle. Heat one end of it and let the wax melt to make it soft and supple. Then press it against the bone. When the paraffin hardens, it will be removed as soon as you pull the candle back. But be careful. Do not burn the victim with hot wax.
However, a serious obstacle may arise on the path to success. If a person has a strong gag reflex, then any attempt to help him will not succeed. How to get a bone from a throat in such a difficult situation? Treat the root of the tongue with a small amount of lidocaine. It will weaken the emetic urge and allow you to calmly remove the bone. Do not forget to first ask the victim if he accidentally has an allergy to such a medicine. Otherwise, there is a risk of anaphylactic shock. Then the bone in the throat will become a completely insignificant problem against the background of everything else.
In no case do not try to push through the hindrance with the notorious bread crust, which is so popular in home medicine. A large bone from such manipulation can only penetrate deeper into the tissues, as well as damage the esophagus. As a result, the patient will certainly be in a hospital bed.
How to get a bone out of the throat if it cannot be detected with the naked eye? In this case, ask the victim to describe their feelings. If the throat hurts, and swallowing only enhances the unpleasant feeling, then in this situation, immediately go to the hospital. An attempt to pull out the bone yourself can end in failure. And the specialist in the clinic with the help of tools will surely help the unlucky lover of fish dishes.
In any case, if there is no one nearby who could help you with a similar problem, go to the doctor. Only he will be able to accurately and without consequences pull the bone out of his throat.
