Stay calm and assess the feeling. Is it a scratchy discomfort or a sharp, lodged pain? If the bone feels small and not deeply stuck, there are a few home remedies you can try safely.
One common method is eating soft foods that can push the bone down gently. Try swallowing a ball of cooked rice, soft bread with peanut butter, or a banana. These soft, sticky foods may trap the bone and help guide it down the esophagus naturally.
You can also try coughing forcefully. Sometimes the pressure from a strong cough can dislodge a lightly stuck bone.
However, if the bone causes severe pain, difficulty breathing, bleeding, or persists after trying these remedies, seek medical help immediately. A doctor can safely remove it using the right tools.
Avoid poking your throat with fingers or other objects, as this can cause injury or push the bone deeper. Stay calm, act wisely, and don’t ignore lingering discomfort it could save your life.
