Food Stuck in Throat? (Warning: This is Nasty)?
As disgusting as this is, I have a fishbone stuck in my throat. I've tried eating white bread and water to get it down. But both failed. I also tried soda, but I vomited. Actually, I vomit after I eat anything. Are there any solutions?

Well you've tried all the home remedies so theres nothing else left but to see a doc.. I remember when I had this happen to me, tried everything but it was still stuck there then I was taken to a doc. Fell asleep waiting and then when I woke up it was gone. So that being said I don't know what the doctor will do to get it out.
Best of luck and maybe it will go away before you see a doc like it did with me.

Sometimes when you think you have something stuck in your throat its not the item itself but the residue or the dent is still there. The area dries out so you think there is something there but there is not.
If you really had something stuck in your throat not only could you not type on the computer, you couldn't swallow, let alone breathe!
Try to calm yourself down and think logically but if you are in a panic you should have urgent care take an Xray or look down your throat to see if anything is still there.

Go directly to the emergency room now. Any pain or vomiting are possible signs that you have an obstruction. Good luck!

If you can't get it out at all with anything like soda, you have to try and reach in and grab it!
Or.......
Go to the doctor and tell them that you've been trying to get it out but its just lodged in there.
They'll help you!

Go to your nearest A&E.
If it's in your trachea- you could be in real trouble.
