Brilio.net - Eating fish can be a challenge for many people. This is because fish have small bones or spines that can stick in the flesh. If not careful, these spines can be swallowed and get stuck in the throat .
Choking on a fish bone is very uncomfortable and can cause a sore throat. According to a report on medicalnewstoday.com, in more serious cases, fish bones can cause blood in the saliva, as well as difficulty swallowing or breathing.
Some people try to remove fish bones with simple materials, such as rice balls. Rice balls are believed to help push the bones into the stomach, although this is not always effective for everyone.
If that doesn't work, people look for other methods. One of them is a trick shared by YouTube user bugis tanete, who shows several ways to deal with fish bones stuck in the throat.
"So choking on fish bones can depend on the size of the fish bone and its position in the throat. If it's not too serious and the fish bone isn't too big, then we can treat it ourselves at home in various ways," said YouTube bugis tanete.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube bugis tanete on Tuesday (17/9), 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.
