  • Very strange question...

    Tonight we went out for Mexican food. We tried this little place that some of my classmates had talked about. It was authentic, so I knew I could find something Atkins friendly.
    I got tilapia, like a whole tilapia, and a salad with lettuce, avacado slices and tomato.

    Well, apparently I got a little too excited and ate my fish too fast.
    I got a fishbone stuck in the back of my throat!
    And that's not the worst part.
    I thought if I just tried swallowing and drinking some water it would go away. It didn't. The pain got worse.
    I went to the bathroom and tried to hack it back up....I sounded like a cat trying to pass a hairball I wasn't able to spit it out or anything...I didn't see it come out. *gross, like you need to hear this*

    Is it possible it still stuck in there? And if so, could I get an infection from it?
    I know it sounds really dumb, but I'm worried about that little sucker giving me a nasty infection.

    Anyone?

    YIKES! what a situation.. can you still feel it? If you cant ,its probably been hacked up a-la-furball or you have swallowed it, in which case it will be digested in your stomach.If you can still feel it ,it might be wise to visit a doctor
    IN future stay away from fish with bones - at least when you are eating in public!

      Hey guys - uhh no. Its not still there.

      Due to the nature of contraction in your throat - it can't be lodged there. What you'd done is deeply scratched your throat which makes it feel like its still there.

      You might want to go to the doctor anyway and see if there is something you can gargle with the kill infection/make it heal faster.

        The very same thing happened to my son last year in the Dominican Republic while on vacation. The fish bone got stuck in his throat. We could actually see it, but couldn't get to it without making him retch. Finally, he took some tweezers and got it out itself. Eating bread, drinking...nothing would have dislodged it. So if you can see it, use tweezers, if not, go to the doctors...

          That sounds very scarey! You should go to the doctor to make sure it's gone. Yes, it could still be lodged there... not something to mess around with... it's your airway!
