Is it right to drink vinegar if the fish bone gets stuck in the throat when eating fish?

　　Question: Is it right to drink vinegar when a fish bone is stuck?

　　Answer: Many people have experienced fish bones stuck in their throats when eating fish. The customary method is to drink a few mouthfuls of vinegar or swallow a few mouthfuls of rice or steamed buns to remove the fish bones. However, this blind approach is not only unhelpful, but also dangerous.

　　The method of drinking vinegar cannot really soften fish bones. Because vinegar can only stay in the stuck position for a short time, not only the effect is very limited, but it may also delay the treatment opportunity. It is even more dangerous to swallow fish bones by swallowing rice, steamed buns and other foods, because the fish bones that are swallowed by force may puncture blood vessels.

　　When the throat is stuck by an object such as a fish bone, you should first relieve your emotions, because once you are emotionally tense, it is easy to cause the throat muscles to contract, and the foreign object will become stuck tighter. The correct approach is to stay relaxed and drink an appropriate amount of water. If the fish bone cannot be flushed, you must go as soon as possible Hospital Do not drink vinegar or swallow rice by yourself.
