Fish bone pricked in throat
Swallowed a small fish bone on Sunday. Did home remedies and it seems to have gone down. Monday was feeling something stuck in throat when i swallow. No pain per se. Breathing etc normal. Went to ent on Tuesday. He checked and said there is no foreign object though there is some injury, prescribed antacid syrup. My question is how many days will the injury take to heal? And is there any other thing i can do for faster healing?

The only time you would need to go to the doctor is if your throat got scratched by fish bone and that scratch got infected.
In very rare cases, the bone scratches the uvula, which then becomes red and inflamed.
If this is the case, a course of antibiotics should quickly resolve the problem.
