Swallowed small piece of chicken bone
On Thursday night (15/10/2020), I had chicken biryani. While eating rice I felt like swallowing a piece of chicken bone in my throat along with rice. I didn't even see the size of the bone piece.
Next morning I felt like small pain in my back till afternoon. thats it.
From then I ate breakfast lunch and dinner, no issue with eating food.
But sometimes I feel very little small pain in my back as I can't tell it's because of chicken bone.
There is no issue while eating, drinking water, moving my body and doing physical activity.
Please comment on this problem.

It looks like you might have swallowed a very small piece of bone which might have minimally injured your esophagus ( food pipe) while swallowing..
It looks like the pain in the back could be due to that.... however if the pain persists you might require an upper GI endoscopy just to be sure ....
Next Steps
wait and watch for symptoms such as - persistent pain , vomiting of blood, difficulty/ pain during swallowing...blood in stools
...if they occur then visit a surgeon immediately
Health Tips
have plenty of fluids
