Christmas is approaching. The children are looking forward to Baby Jesus and you can’t wait for the carp and potato salad. Carp is a fried Christmas delicacy enjoyed even by people who otherwise wouldn’t touch fish. Well, and sometimes it turns out that way. Almost all of us have the experience of choking on a fish bone, or have at least witnessed it. We are a landlocked nation and generally not very fond of fish, so few people know how to quickly get rid of a stuck fish bone. You don’t want to rush to the emergency room during the holidays because of a bone? In that case read our article carefully.
Thoroughly remove bones from fish for children
Fish is very healthy, and naturally we want it to be part of a child’s diet. If you prepare frozen fish sticks or fish fingers for children, there is almost no danger, although one can question the quality of such fish. If you have baked a whole fish for the children, rather carefully remove the meat from the bones and don’t risk the child swallowing a bone. However, if you did not manage to remove all the bones from the fish, or a bone got stuck in some inattentive adult, try the following tips on how to quickly remove a bone from the throat.
A fish bone in the throat can be very dangerous!
Therefore it is necessary to get rid of it quickly.
- Try first to cough the bone up. If you try for several minutes and the bone hasn’t moved, you can try the following options
- Take a gulp of olive oil. It will lubricate the throat and the bone will loosen
- Dip bread into warm milk and eat it in small bites
- Sip water with vinegar. Dilute the vinegar with water and drink it in sips. The bone will soften and loosen. However, this method is slower and not everyone can tolerate drinking vinegar water
The main thing is to stay calm and not panic. However, if none of these methods help, or if it is a large and hard bone, it is better to seek a specialist who will professionally remove the bone.
