Suggest Treatment For Food Stuck In Throat
Stop the efforts - investigations and removal if found to be stuck.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history of lamb bone stuck in the throat - wants to know the best way to dissolve it - drinking lots of water - massaging throat - eating bread.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- Since you have tried the ways you mentioned and if you still have the sensation of bone stuck in the throat, it is better to stop the efforts and get a confirmation.
This can be done by:
- X-ray of the affected area - Neck to the abdomen
- Laryngo-pharyngoscopy/ upper GI Endoscopy. This confirms whether the bone is really and still stick or the injury caused thereby is giving you the symptoms and is therapeutic also as it will allow the bone to be removed is seen.
If the bone is stuck or if it has caused the injury and passed through, the methods like you have tried are not very successful and in fact cause more harm.
If it is stuck, it needs removal.
If there is only injury, get a medical treatment for early and nice healing.
There is no way to dissolve the bone stuck.
