I'm little worried. I don't have hard time swallowing but its really frustrating that when I talk I can't talk without feeling the fish bone that is stuck in my windpipe hitting my throat. I tried to eat bread, banana, rice, vegetables and other fruits and food that in the table but It's still stuck in my windpipe or in my vocal cord. I'm hoping that this problem will be solved soon. Anyway how long does a fish bone going to soften?

Hi bulastika! Try to get a cat who will scratch your throat! haha just kidding! I just came to this idea because that same thing also happened to me but it didn't last long coz the moment that the fish bone got into my throat, I swallow a banana, drink a lot of water and everything that you mention but it didn't go away, then my husband joked about having our cat scratch my throat and out of nothing I just do, but of course I control it...I don't want to get wounded after...its just so funny that after that i feel the bone slowly go down...maybe its just a coincidence. Anyway, about your problem, since its already stuck there for some days, I think you can also take the advise of people here to go visit a doctor...maybe you can also try cough as if you are trying to bring out some phlegm...I don't know but hen I am in such situation I just do anything to give myself some comfort.

Just imagine a cat's paws with nails out scratching bulastika's throat for 5 days now . I think I would would for the banana instead.

We have four dogs in our house so cat's are not welcome in here. lols. But banana just come too late. I eat lengua and its all gone. lols. Its maybe because I like to ear lengua so much that I end up eating so fast and fast enough that the fish bone just disappear after I eat lengua. lols. But I will not going to eat fish anymore. I really don't like to eat fish in the first place. I will for now eat just meat.

ck, i almost done that scratching of throat using cat. but the thought of i somehow scares me for being scratched and hurt and get wounded. so what i do is eat more bananas for it to slide down. i don't like getting fish bones inside me. i had itbefore when i ate tuyo fish. i vomit all of what i atebecause of uncomfortable feeling. i really hate being like that. i can't breathe and all. just hope it won't happen again and always be careful on eating fish.

have you drink much water?? I never experience this before, but have the fish bone in throat for five days sounds scary. you must feel terrible cought and have your throat irritate. the best way out is contact doctor soon to avoid another serious problem. I hope you get well soon...

I drink a lot of water. I eat bread and any food that I could find. In fact I gain three points already because I eat too much with no avail or until I eat lengua. After I eat lengua my problem is solved. lols. I'm happy that its gone now and I hope that I can eat more lengua. lols.

See a doctor. That's the best thing to do so that you will stop worrying about it. try to be careful next time when you're eating fish.

Don't worry. Its gone now. I'm happy that after a several days of being worried its finally fall off. Thanks to lengua. lols. I guess what I just need to do is eat and eat. lols. I like to eat lengua so I just dig in and eat so fast that after eating I just realize that the fish bone is gone.

Uh oh... I think you better go and see a doctor about that throat of yours... Fish bones are nasty when it comes to piercing your gums or if you swallow it like yours and gets stuck in your throat... It's best that you go and see a doctor so you wont further damage your throat...
