How To Get Rid Of Throat Pain After Fish Bone Getting Struck In Throat?
I ate salmon Tuesday evening and felt a small bone stuck in throat. I had a piece of bread with peanut butter and then milk to push it down. I woke up Wed at 3am with swollen throat and pain in both ears. Today is Friday and the left is better. My throat hurts and still feels like the fish bone is there. What to do.

Hello and welcome to health care magic forums.
The fishbone stuck in the throat can produce a small wound there which will get infected. That is the reason for persistent swelling and pain
You need to see an ENT specialist and he will take it out. He will also give a course of antibiotics to fight the infection.
Thank you.
