Fish bone in throat
Dear Doctor,
A fish bone is there in her throat since last 3 days. She consulted the doctor in OLFU, but still she feels pain even though taking tablets.
Please advise on how to cure this.
Due to holidays, most of the clinics are closed.
Thanking you in advance.

Fish bone if stuck in the throat needs to be removed under vision. There are no medicines which can help. Medicines can reduce the pain. She may need to undergo endoscopic examination of throat to identify fish bone
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
