Home Remedies: Extricating Fish Bone From Throat With Finger

Avoid This: Don't use your fingers to remove the bone as you risk pushing the fish bone even further down the throat and your fingernails may puncture the tissue lining of your throat, warned Dr. Y. H. Goh, Consultant at Y H Goh Ear Nose and Throat, Head and Neck Surgery.

The Alternatives: Go to the doctor immediately because complications usually arise when patients take too long to get medical help, said Goh. The situation may become even more severe when the bone is stuck near the oesophagus because there are many vital organs below it.
