In daily life, enjoying a delicious fish meal is a favorite of many people. However, when tasting delicious fish, there are occasional accidents where fish bones get stuck in the throat.
In the face of this situation, some widely circulated "local methods" not only fail to solve the problem, but may bring greater risks. Today, we're going to talk about how to deal with fish bones when they get stuck in the throat and which methods should not be tried.
1.Try to swallow rice balls, steamed buns and other foods in the hope of "bringing the fish bones down". However, this method is actually very dangerous. Doing so is likely to cause the fish bones to get deeper and deeper, or even puncture the esophagus or blood vessels, with serious consequences.
2.Try drinking vinegar to soften the fish bones. Although vinegar does contain a certain amount of acetic acid, which can soften calcium, it takes a lot of vinegar and a long time to soak the fish bones by drinking vinegar, which is impossible to achieve in practice. Moreover, drinking too much vinegar can also irritate the gastric mucosa and cause stomach upset.
So, what's the right way to do it?
First of all, it is very important to stay calm. Don't panic and don't try to deal with it in unscientific ways. If the bones are not stuck deeply, try coughing gently, sometimes the bones will be coughed out with the airflow. If this method does not work, or if the bones are stuck deeply, you should seek medical attention immediately.
If you can see a fish bone before you see a doctor, try gently pinching it out with small tweezers. However, this operation requires great care, as the throat is a very sensitive and delicate part. If you are not sure, you should not try it lightly to avoid causing more damage.
When you arrive at the hospital, the doctor will take professional treatment measures according to the specific situation of the fish bone stuck in the throat. Generally speaking, if the fish bone is stuck shallowly, the doctor will easily remove it with a professional tool. If the bones are stuck deep or in a special location, they may need to be removed with the help of a laryngoscope.
In conclusion, fish bone entrapment is a relatively common minor accident, but it can also have serious consequences if not handled properly. Therefore, when encountering such a situation, it is important to stay calm, take the right course of action, and seek medical attention in a timely manner. Don't blindly try some "local methods" that have no scientific basis, so as not to outweigh the losses.
In daily life, whether you or the people around you encounter similar situations, you can deal with them calmly and scientifically to avoid unnecessary harm and risks. Remember, safety always comes first!
