Flounder bone stuck in throat

[glen]

My friend has a flounder bone stuck in his thoat. ANy ideas how to get it out?
Toast? Go to the ER?

How precarious is it? That could go from bad to worse if it dislodged weird. Heimlich might force it out; or into a worse place...

 

[Matthiasa]

Was it home cooked or at a restaurant?
But yeah might want to see a doctor about that.

ER is $$ if he isn't covered - toast might break it free.

Punch him in the adams apple

My mom used to give me a banana. But that was with tiny fish bones. I say go to er

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Surprise throat punch is the only way to be sure (bonus points if you make it pop out the side). If it was me I'd probably want to see a doctor. I never had to deal with it though so I have no real frame of reference.

Bend forward at the waist as far as you can so that your head is touching the ground and start thumping on your chest. This occasionally works.

Get a knife and cut it out, like you're Chuck Norris.
In all seriousness, go to the ER.

 

[Azraele]

Doctor/er. Let us know how it goes and hope your friend is ok.

 

[glen]

He is ok.
I keep telling him he is a wuss if he doesn't cut it out with a knife.
Must not be that bad or he would already be at the ER.

It will dissolve over the next 2 decades.

It can also be that he swallowed a bone that scratched his esophagus. That feels like you have a bone caught in your throat, but it's just the scratch. Can be worse if there is a little bit of an allergic reaction.

I think the best move is to post this to ATOT instead of calling a medical professional.

This.

He is going to take some ibuprofen.

Potatoes or bread are typically eaten with fish to help coat any fish bones that might accidentally be ingested. It may help to eat some potatoes.

If it isn't serious enough to go to the ER, try having him eat a peanut butter sandwich (don't toast the bread.) My mom had a fish bone stuck in her throat and that was the eventual home method that dislodged it. (and she had already tried rice and... ugh.. drinking vinegar.)

 

[OlafSicky]

eat some bread or a large pizza could be scratch

 

[glen]

We think the potato did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracheotomy is the only way.

OP, you got a fountain pen and some rubbing alcohol nearby?

Beat ya to it.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

Face is a tracheotomy isn't going to help at this point.

The only option now is a knife through the eye-socket before he becomes a fish-zombie.
