A lot of people have the experience of being caught in a throat by a fishbone while eating fish. It is customary to drink a few mouthfuls of vinegar, or swallow a few mouthfuls of rice and steamed bread to carry the fish bones down. However, experts caution that such blind treatment is not only useless, but also dangerous.
The commonly used method of drinking vinegar does not really play a role in softening the fishbone. Because vinegar can only stay in the card position for a short time, not only is the effect very limited, but it may delay the timing of treatment. It is even more dangerous to swallow the fishbone with a method such as swallowing rice, steamed bread, etc., because it is possible to pierce the blood vessel by a hard-swallowed fishbone.
Experts point out that when the throat is caught by objects such as fishbone, the emotion should be relieved first, because once the emotion is tense, it will easily cause the muscles of the throat to contract, and the foreign body will get tighter. The correct way is to stay relaxed and drink the right amount of water. If the fishbone can’t get down, go to the hospital as soon as possible, don’t drink vinegar or swallow rice.
