Brief Answer: Different situations... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your queries and understood your concerns. Getting little bone stucked in the esophagus and gastroenteritis are not the same thing; and do not have the same clinical symptoms. If the bone would have been stucked, you'd feel pain all the time. It will be worse when you eat. You would also have experienced difficulties in swallowing. If the symptoms of gastroenteritis started after you ate the chicken, it might be related to any food poisoning. Hope it answered to your queries! Let me know if you need further assistance!
