What do you when you accidentally swallowed fish bone?

I also experienced that. It is really painful and my mother said that there's a saying that cat paws can help when massaging your neck by it's paws. I don't know where it started. But I use banana slice and swallowed it without chewing.

I have swallowed fish bones many times but still i never encountered a situation where the bone gets struck into the food pipe. A friend of my friend had a situation like this.He was a vegetarian.He had never consumed a fish before. This happened during a outing with friends.He saw fish there and decided to try, but due to the fear that other friends might tease him for consuming fish, he sneaked and consumed it.since it was first time for him he did not knew how to eat and the bone got struck in his neck because of this.He panicked when when it pained.The other friends brought bananas and made him eat them.With bananas the bone got swallowed and he got relief from pain. Usually when ever a fish is stuck in neck the banana are preferred.

That's quite an interesting way to treat it. When I swallow a fish bone, I try to somehow displace it. I try coughing and clearing my throat. If it still doesn't work then I try rinsing it and swallowing a lot of water to wash it down.

I cough and drink lots of water. I hope it either comes up into a napkin or goes down. I wouldn't want to choke or stop breathing. I often use my fingers to check for bones now. It's not very polite, but it could save my life. Very important if you have children to really, really check their fish.

there's a myth here in the Philippines that when you have a fish bone stuck in your through you should let a suhe (a person born feet first then head) massage your throat. I haven't tried it cause I rarely get fishbones stuck in my throat. My mum told me (jokingly) that I have cat abilities. haha. Anyway, stuffing your mouth with rice seems to work, but you might choke that way! It's dangerous. What we do at home is we eat bananas so that the fishbone will stick to the banana

Hello secretbear When I was a kid, I hear if one swallowed fish bone, they'd die (not sure how much of this is true though) and maybe because of this, I have despised fish ever since a kid. I did't eat fish a lot and didn't really get use to the the taste of it, unless they are fried (anything fried tastes yummy LOL) Anyway I get so scared eating fishes even this day, I prefer not eating fish at all Some of them are so full of bones that I don't find anything to eat at all!

lol =D Your cousin is so cute!!! Get a cat's paw to massage your neck?? lol =D IF only that can work!! It should be a cute sight for everybody around u back then, secret.. hehe There are many ways to do it when one gets chocked on a fish bone. Some older chinese saying even used a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, putting the bowl on the head, knocking it with the chopsticks, using the force of it to push the bone down the throat.. lol =D As for myself, i avoid fish with many bones, or fish with small bones.. haha

back when i was a kid, whenever i accidentally swallowed a fish bone my cousin would told me to eat a banana so that the fish bone would go down to my stomach but if i were accidentally swallowed a fish bone right now, i just usually drink lots of water

I kind of get scared. I will try to remain as calm as possible. I also will drink some water, hoping that this will ease the bone down my throat gently. This is one reason why my husband does not like fish or chicken that has bones in it. He is very uncomfortable with eating any meat that has bones in it. He swallowed a fish bone one time and it got stuck inside of his throat, so from this, he no longer enjoys eating fish or chicken that has small bones that he can't really see, but yet feel.

i also do that, swallow a bigger amount of rice in hope to pull the bone and go together with the rice when it goes in. sometimes, i swallow a bigger bite of banana which my mother told me.

another method is to swallow a big chunk of banana, not munching it, but swallowing the chunk all the way down. there are many sayings about this which probably are myths. one of these is to let a person born in breech position to massage the neck part where it hurts. true? i really dont know.

It had been a few times in my life that i ever accidentally swallowed some fish bones. Usually, i will try to drink plenty of water with a big gulp. If it is still sticking in my throat. I will go for a big soften gulp of rice or even soften bread and swallowed them without chewing them into smaller components. It can surely pushed down into our stomach. Well, i haven't tried your cousin way of healing the fish bone problem, since i don't have any cat with me now...Can it really helps the fish bone to disappear or not? Sounds quite interesting....

Oh my..I have never heard of having a cat massage your neck.. That's very strange to me. The rice sounds more logical in helping, though I have never heard of doing that. Good thing I never swallowed a fish bone..but now I will know what to do it I get a fish bone stuck in m throat so thank you Sometimes when I take a large vitamin/mineral pill I feel it's stuck in my throat and I was told to eat a piece of bread to help the situation.

This happened to a friend of mine she was shocking on it for about 30 seconds thank god it came back up from her throat. I get boneless fish I'm scared to eat fish with bones so that I wont choke. Try to force it out put your hands down your throat and force yourself to throw up. But I would recommended eating boneless fish.

I've also been told to swallow a lump of rice when we accidentally swallowed fish bones. I've tried it and it worked. Other than that I have no clue.

Oh yes, this has happened to me many times as a kid - well, swallowing fish bones (not getting it stuck though). But I don't remember worrying about it - like you said, most likely I'd be eating it with rice anyway, so it'd all go down. These days I chew my food well, so if I feel any bones, I spit it out right away. But sometimes those teeny bits of bone make it in.

Your topic makes me remember those times too. It is indeed the belief of others that the cat's massage to our neck could dislodge the thorn of the fish in our throat. But then of course that only a belief , that is not true. I do that too, whenever i got a thorn in my throat. Or if there is a banana available , i would swallow a big chunk without chewing it. Thankfully, it dislodged the thorn in my throat.

I swallowed fishbone when I was in highschool and my uncle told me that I need to get a cat and let their paws massage my neck and it works. I don't know if there's a scientific study about catpaws regarding the removal of fishbone.

hai friend it is very simple,i experienced this many times whle eating fish with rice, when ever fish bone stucks or when you swallowed dont drink water, swallow white rice as much as you can

When a fish bone gets stuck, my mother suggest eating overcooked rice. The hard-textured one. It smells rather charred. It's good to eat when you have fish bone stuck on your throat. They say banana helps too..
