Have you ever got a fish bone stuck in your throat?

ouch! i cant imagine drinking vinegar just to dissolve the bone in our throught i think that too dangerous. our oldies thought us one thing only. if you have bone stuck on your mouth just eat banana in a way it can help push down the bone and its soft too. eat as many as you can until the bone will be removed. i had tried it in the past and it did help..

ive done it and wow its distubing, i had a feeling of a lump in my throat for about three weeks every time i tried to swallow. Eventually i went to the dr and she fiddled around in my mouth only to tell me she could see something but couldnt see what it was and sent me to a specialist. He told me what it was and plucked it out. He did it with a pair of tweezers, so now i know, tweezers and a mirror lol blessed be keep on posting

I haven't had this happen to me but i remember when i was about 10 the family cat got a fish bone stuck right in the back of his mouth and mum had to hold the cat and his mouth open whil i had to stick my fingers in and pull it out, it was a bit gross but i had the smallest hands i guess lol.

Oh yes it was one of the worst days of my life i felt like my throat had been cut the pain was that bad i was having fish meal for lunch at work in the local police headquarters surrounded by very handsome men wen i felt the bone get stuck long ways at first i tried to deal with it camly but my friend next to me noticed me looking rather unwell so he told me to stay calm and he put his fingers down my throat and pulled it out, i cant see any other way i would have liked to have got rid of it cause unless i could actually see the bone i wouldnt have been statisfied that i had got rid of it.

Let somebody massage it from the outside. We have a belief here that anybody who was born butt first are great in helping people having this problem. I should know, I was my grandma's favorite because of this :p

I was eating some catfish, fried of course, and next thing I know, I have a fishbone stuck in my tonsil. It was really painful, but I got some tweezers and pulled it out. It hurt more after that, for a few days actually. But I'm glad I got it out.

It's always a good idea to have a pair of long tweezers and a flashlight handy... and a sure-handed friend! :) I usually fillet and de-bone my own fish, but trout and salmon and smaller fish, seem to always have one or two hidden in reserve. The best way to prevent this annoying thing from happening was taught to me by my grandmother- "ALWAYS eat a piece of bread along with your fish, and you will never get a bone caught in your throat!" Somehow, it seems that the tongue will be able to detect the bones, if there is another texture in the mouth for the brain to compare it with, I guess...

Wow. I am so overly cautious when it comes to eating fish. I practically mash it into puree with my tongue before I swallow it. I have a great fear of swallowing fish bones. When I was a child I remember my mother making me swallow dry bread. Can't remember if it worked or not. I just remember the fear that I was going to die as a result of swallowing a bone.

I had fish bone stuck inmy throat some years ago. It was stuck for over half an hour. To get it out, I swallowed lime juice (concentrated, straight from the lime itself) and it dissolved the bone. This is because of the acidity level in the juice which breaks down the bone. Believe me, it worked for me and it can work for you.

Yes I have had a fish bone suck in my throat when I was very young, when I eat fish at any time I always have a slice of bread beside me just incase as this is a dreadful feeling and it really put me off eating any fish when this happened the first time. I do not know of any other way to do this but eating the bread has always solved this problem for me.

many times, and one time i was brought to the emergency room beacause the bone got stuck deep in my throat. I've done everything, i tried to eat a couple of bananas, drunk a gallon of water and let the cat scratch my neck ( its my grandma's advice - an old belief here in our country.

my brother got a fish bone stuck in his throat and my mum used 2 teaspoons to get it out as we didnt have a pair of long tweezers

yah.. and it hurts. i don't know what better way to do it but i just drink lots of water to push it down.. well, anyway the bone wasn't too big or anything so the water just washed it off. but really when that fish bone stuck down my throat.. i thought it would cut my throat down. since then i've been very careful eating fish.

yep..i always face this problem..i used to take banana & lots of water immediately..i would not feel good if it still stays there/.. if still feeling pain or some thing..definitely run to a doctor..that's the safest thing to do ..at the final stage,,,,

yes i had bitter experience i stopped trying fish fromt hat day best thing to handle a bone struck in ur throad is take quic gulp of a soft warm baked rice

ya it has happened to me some 2 or 3 times... what i do for that is i'll eat a large ball of rice

Preventions better than cure...so you'd rather be careful while eating fish (u can pick out the bones from the fish for a start) than trying to get rid of the bone stuck in your throat....and yes i too have been in a similar situation

I guess, much better to do is.. you eat banana. You bite a large slice of banana, and swallow it. It will be a big help if a fish bone stck in your throat. But if it is worst, better go to the nearest doctor.

yea ....it once happened to me......i was enjoyin a meal of fish prepared at home....bt all of a sudden got stuck up wit a piece of bone in my throat !! my mum adviced me to swallow plenty of plain rice......n finally got away wit it !!??

oh wow i've had plenty of this situation as a kid lolz my mom always told me to swallow more rice or shed give me a banana. and with all honesty...those two actually worked and still does. i wouldnt put a finger down my throat cuz that was just irritate my throat...goodluck~
