Brilio.net - Eating fish is often a challenge for some people. This is caused by the spines or bones attached to the fish meat. If not careful, these fish spines or bones can be swallowed and potentially get stuck in the throat.
Choking on fish bones is indeed very uncomfortable. In fact, the bones can injure the inside of the throat, so it will feel very painful. According to medicalnewstoday.com, in more severe cases, choking on fish bones can cause blood to appear in the saliva, difficulty swallowing, and even breathing.
Before it gets worse, some people usually try to remove the fish bone themselves with simple ingredients. One of them is with a rice ball. For some people, this rice ball can help push the fish bone to then enter the stomach.
Unfortunately, these rice balls are sometimes ineffective for some people. They then look for other alternatives. The same thing was done by YouTube user bugis tanete. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to using a number of tricks to remove fish bones stuck in his throat.
"Choking on fish bones can depend on the size of the fish bone and its position in the throat. If it is not too severe and the fish bone is not too big, then it can be treated at home in various ways," said YouTube bugis tanete.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube bugis tanete on Friday (13/9), the first thing to do is analyze the position of the fish bones. Because, different positions can also have different ways of removing them. If the position of the fish bones is at the tip of the tongue, then the fish bones can be removed directly using your fingers slowly.

Well, if the fish bone is in the front of the throat, then you can simply remove it by coughing. Put pressure on the stomach and try to cough quite hard. That way, the fish bone will come out by itself.
For fish bones that are stuck in a rather deep position, use a different method. The first way, press the side of the neck (which is closest to the fish bone). While pressing, try to swallow the saliva in your mouth forcefully.
For the second way, you can use water. The trick is, keep pressing the side of the neck, then lower your head a little. While doing so, try drinking water while pressing and rubbing the neck area. That way, the thorn will enter the stomach.

"Try to make a sound (when swallowing water), so that a lot of water goes into your throat," explained YouTube Bugis Tanete.
If it still doesn't work, you can also use foods with a soft texture like bananas. Chew the banana for a while (don't let it become smooth and crushed). Immediately press the edge of the neck and swallow the banana in your mouth. Reported from healthline.com, these sticky banana pieces will make the fish bones stick and make them fall into the stomach.
"Usually this method is the most effective, if you can't cough, you can't vomit," he explained further.
