Accidentally swallowed a small fish bone as part of a cut of my salmon tonight. It feels stuck in my throat. Any tips of dislodging it or will it go away on its own? Even willing to try some old wives remedies. Please advise. Thanks!

Seltzer!

This happened to me when I swallowed a bay leaf from eating soup. I went to the ER and they took an x-ray and said that I should wait it out based on where it was positioned. I ended up seeing an ENT b/c it still felt like something was stuck in there a day later. Long story short it apparently worked its way down b/c the doc didn’t see anything - just residual soreness.

Milk and or damp bread usually work for me.

Big spoonful of Peanut butter! It will stick to the bone and help it slide down and won’t hurt your throat. But don’t eat the chunky kind.

Also marshmallows. Not even joking.

Eat cheese. It’s the only thing that dislodged a fish bone when my brother was a kid. We were in Ireland and he tried all their other “tricks”, finally cheese worked

Try drinking some fresh squeezed lime juice (not diluted with water)

Fish it out with your finger like a savage.
