Suggest Remedy For Stuck Fish Bone In Esophagus

I think i swallowed a fish bone last night because I can feel something sticking in 1 spot in my esophagus. Do i need to see a doctor or can I wait it out to see if it will move on its own. I can breathe and swallow, I can just tell something is there, a very dull pain. I tried a sticky granola and bread, lots of water, coughing, nothing is working.

hi, drink lots of water and juices or you can try to throw it out by applying some pressure at your chest with both hands and than try to cough hard, but if its not improving than kindly see a doctor.
