FISH BONE in mouth!!! Can be dangerous!!
Visit doctor immediately rather than trying home remedies which push the bone into the mucosal lining making it difficult to visualise & remove
The 45-year-old woman had eaten fish soup, not realising there were sharp bones in the belly meat.
At first, the couple tried to manage the problem at home. They followed a common traditional method eating more food to try and push the bone down. When that didn’t work, she used her finger to press the area inside her mouth, hoping to dislodge it.
They visited a hospital, but doctors could not see the bone on an X-ray and believed it had passed through the digestive system. She was sent home with medication.
Over the next two weeks, her pain grew worse. “She began showing signs that looked like thyroid inflammation,” Mr Suriyan told
A second hospital visit also failed to detect the problem, and she was sent home again. Eventually, the pain became severe, and she placed a pain-relief patch on her neck. On the second day of using a new patch, something sharp began to break through her skin the tip of bone came out !!
Her husband took her to Hospital . This time, X-rays confirmed the presence of the bone. Doctors carried out immediate surgery and removed it.
“It’s something so simple, but it could have caused serious harm,” he said. “
