Hi, My 8 year old daughter had a fish bone stuck in her throat yesterday but it did eventually come out on its own a few hours later while she was eating ice cream. Today, she still feels a little pain in her throat when she swallows. Do we need to bring her to a doctor to make sure there are no more bones? Thanks, Jennie
Hi, thanks for writing to us. Fish bone is a sharp foreign body, when stuck in the throat, it would have caused minor injury to the throat wall causing secondary infection and as result the child may be experiencing pain. Kindly get an ENT specialist to examine her and start on appropriate treatment, thanks.
