During the Chinese New Year, fish is an indispensable dish on the table. The fish is delicious, but the bones are also terrifying. Chinese New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the new year, Department of Otolaryngology, Third People's Hospital of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, ZhejiangA total of 99 patients who were stuck with fish bones were treated.
On the evening of February 13, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, 45-year-old Ms. Wang (pseudonym) looked at the fish she had just bought in the afternoon and was very fresh, and specially learned how to make fish soup without fish bones online.

The attending physician Jiang Dalong reminded the fish bones to be stuck, and do not use the following soil method.
Drinking vinegar to soften fish bones? Useless!
Soaking the fish bones in vinegar can indeed dissolve the calcium salts in the fish bones and make the hard fish bones soft, but it takes more than 30 minutes to soften them.
Fluid cannot accumulate in the throat, so after drinking vinegar, vinegar will quickly flow from the throat into the esophagus, so it cannot soften the fish bones at all. Drinking large amounts of vinegar may irritate the mucosa of the throat, causing mucosal edema to worsen, which in turn will increase the discomfort of fish bones stuck in the throat. It may also burn the esophageal mucosa and injure the esophagus.
Swallow food and swallow fish bones together? No way!
Some people think that rice balls, steamed buns, etc., can be wrapped in fish bones and brought to the stomach.
In fact, squeezing the sharp fish bones with food will cause the fish bones to squeeze deeper and deeper, piercing into the mucous membrane of the esophagus, and the fish bones are not easy to remove; It can also lead to mucosal infection; The esophagus is adjacent to the large blood vessels, and if the fish spine punctures the large blood vessels, it will cause massive bleeding; If the fish bone "swims" to the mediastinum, it is easy to form chronic inflammation locally, causing mediastinal abscess.
How to deal with it correctly?
Stop eating. Stop eating immediately, prohibit food and water from entering, and avoid secondary damage to the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract.
Cough induces vomiting. After you stop eating, you can try to cough vigorously, as the small bones will fall off with the airflow. It can also be used to induce vomiting to loosen the muscles in the throat and try to vomit out the fish bones.
Take it out promptly. Press the front of the tongue with a spoon2 3 to make a "ah" and "ah" sound to better expose the throat area; Use a flashlight to look at the oropharynx and tonsils to find the location of the fish bones; With the help of tweezers, clamp the fish bones and gently pull them out.
Seek immediate medical attention. If the above methods do not work, please go to the hospital immediately**. A fish bone is a foreign body that can cause an inflammatory response in the tissues if it is present for a long time, and in more severe cases, it can even lead to death by suffocation.
Doctor reminds:
When eating fish, you must concentrate, do not drink, chat, laugh, if you are really stuck by the fish bones, do not panic, treat it scientifically according to the situation, and seek medical attention in time. ** The Third People's Hospital of Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou Release, Hangzhou Transportation 918
