fishbone stuck in throat

It's a very small bone, I can swallow without problems, I just feel there is something in my throat.

Isn't there something that will soften it that I can drink?
 
Deffo a bone, and it's too far to take out with pliers without gagging :(

now eating a lot of bread, so far not helping, this sucks :mad:
 
A&E does sound a bit too much but it will not go away, I ate a lot of bread just now and it's still there, coughing also doesn't help and only irritates my throat.
 
It's not hurting me, it's just annoying that I can't do anything about it myself.

I just thought there might be something I can eat/drink that will make it go away, I know I can go to a doctor but if it isn't needed I'd rather not do it as I'm at work now.

I ended up sticking my finger down my throat and managed to dislodge it and swallow it before the gag relex to puke took over :(.

Not going to work with me, I start gagging the moment my finger reaches the end of my tongue :( Sometimes I even gag when brushing my teeth in the morning :o
 
It's gone, no way it was going out by itself, it was pointing down and the more I ate the more it stuck in my throat, it was about 2 centimeters long and almost 1 centimeters was in my skin (is it called skin :confused: ) so now it's still sore because of a small wound.

I can't tell you what a relief it is :cool:

Dutch Guy, how did you end up getting it out? A coat hanger?

No, GP did it with small tweazers (sp?) and a thing on my tongue so he could see, I was in and out within 10 minutes.
