Fish bone stuck
Fish bone stuck towards the right side of throat opening from 2 days. Consulted with an ENT , doctor said the bone is not visible so he was not able to take it out. He said not to worry leave it as it is. He prescribed me some antibiotics and betadine. He said the bone will dissolve with time.
Will the bone dissolve own its own ? Or should I consult another ENT ?

No it will not dissolve, it will cause abscess and might migrate to other site in neck, get a CT scan neck contrast, it will show exact site. And it has to be removed if detected by ENT surgeon
