When eating fish, if you are not concentrating, talking, etc., the fish bones may get stuck in the throat. Pharyngeal pain will occur after a fish bone gets stuck in the throat, especially when swallowing saliva or eating. Some patients will also experience a pinprick-like feeling or a foreign body sensation in the pharynx.

If the patient swallows the fish bone downward with food, the fish bone may be brought into the esophagus, causing retrosternal pain, inability to swallow, and drooling. If fish bones puncture the esophagus, it can cause esophageal perforation. If the aortic arch is punctured, fatal bleeding may occur.

Therefore, if you accidentally eat a fish bone, you should spit it out. If you cannot spit it out, you should go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital in time and ask the doctor to remove it.
