That night, Wang sent the specialties to each of his friends, and then began to drink and eat grilled fish with his friends.

"Well, Xiaoyan, the grilled fish in this store does taste good! It's much better than the one we ate near the company before." Xiao Wang praised as he ate.

Many people may have experienced a fish spike in their throat in their lives, and the problem of a fish spike getting stuck can be so big or small that no one would ever think that a small fish spike could become a deadly weapon. There have been cases reported in the news where people died because they did not go to the hospital in time for treatment due to a fish spike in the throat. Therefore, this problem of fish spikes must be paid special attention and not ignored.

Fish spike stuck in the throat, swallowing rice, drinking vinegar and other old methods really useful?

In everyday life, many people of the older generation have experience with fish spikes in the throat. They believe that drinking a lot of vinegar when stuck will soften the spike and make it safe, or by chewing a lot of food such as rice or steamed buns, the spike will directly impact down the esophagus and reach the stomach, where it will eventually be digested.

In reality, however, these so-called empirical moves are not scientific coping methods, of which fluke occupies most of the position.

Some fish spines are stuck with the method of swallowing rice to make themselves smooth and safe, in fact, because the fish spines are relatively small and soft. In this case, swallowing a large amount of rice can bring the small fish spines to the human stomach and then be ablated by stomach acid. If the fish spike is large or hard, swallowing rice will only make the throat and esophagus of the person stuck more and more serious. If the fish spike is pushed deeper into the body, it may cut through the aorta, which is a very serious consequence of the act.

In addition, the claim that drinking vinegar can soften fish spines is actually just a rationalization of the perceived principle. In fact, drinking vinegar does not soften fish spines, and even if it does, it requires a long soaking to produce a chemical reaction. When the fish spike is stuck, drinking vinegar will only make the vinegar flow directly to the intestine, and the time is too short to play any softening role.

Therefore, it is not recommended to do the act of swallowing rice and drinking vinegar to cope with the relief after being stuck by a fish spike, as these are unscientific methods. If you swallow rice or drink vinegar blindly and forcibly, there is a possibility that other bad consequences may occur.

Encounter fish spike stuck in the throat, do not drink vinegar to add rice, there may be the following 4 adverse consequences

A fish spike may be small, but if it is sharp and hard enough, it can be very threatening when it enters the body, or in more serious cases, threaten direct life. The following is a summary of some of the serious consequences that can result when a fish spike enters the body.

1、Stabbing into the throat

When people get stuck with a fish spike after eating fish, the most likely place to get stuck at first is in the throat, or at the tonsils, where the person will feel significant throat discomfort, and in some cases, even a slight tingling sensation.

The throat is the location where discomfort is most likely to begin, and if fish spikes in the throat are not treated in a timely manner, bacterial infections can easily develop and produce local abscesses. When the abscess becomes more and more inflamed, it becomes unusually large, crowding the space of the trachea and causing a blockage of the trachea, which can easily lead to death by suffocation once the trachea is not free to breathe and transport oxygen.

Therefore, fish spikes stuck in the throat need to be treated promptly and should not be delayed.

2、Stabbing into the esophagus and piercing the aorta

A woman who was stuck with a fish spike during a meal at home felt fine after swallowing rice, but within a few days she developed symptoms of vomiting blood and bloody stools. After going to the hospital, she found out that the swallowing of rice a few days ago did not solve the problem of the fish spike, but made it more serious.

The fish spike in the lady's body got stuck in her esophagus due to her act of swallowing rice and pierced it, leaving a perforated esophagus in her body with a large amount of old blood left in her esophagus. The doctor advised that an open-heart surgery would be required to remove it.

If a fish spike is stuck in the esophagus and it punctures the esophagus and runs into the aorta, it is usually a very difficult operation.

Therefore, patients who get stuck by a fish spike must be handled with caution and must not solve the problem arbitrarily according to their own perceptions.

3, puncture the stomach caused by gastric perforation

After a fish sting is stuck, there is a risk of gastric perforation due to the puncture of the stomach if not treated actively. The thick and hard fish spines cannot be fully digested by stomach acid after entering the body, and then they will move to various parts of the stomach with the peristalsis of the stomach, especially the parts that are still sharp spines will pierce the stomach wall with the peristalsis of the stomach, thus causing other serious lesions such as gastric perforation. Surgical treatment is required.

In addition, if the fish spike travels in the abdominal cavity with the peristaltic movement of the stomach and intestines, it may damage other internal organs, such as the liver, spleen, pancreas, etc., which are potential threats to the human body.

4、Puncture the small or large intestine

When people are accidentally stuck with a fish spike, it is likely to be swallowed along with other food to the stomach and other intestines, for example, if the spike comes to the small intestine due to its peristalsis, and then the small intestine is punctured, it will cause peritonitis, and if the spike comes to the large intestine and punctures the large intestine, the large intestine will be perforated by the fish spike and cause peritonitis, and the infection will be serious enough to produce chronic peritonitis, and even if the appendix is accidentally punctured, it will also induce chronic peritonitis, which are very bad consequences, and the serious ones are even directly life threatening.

If a fish spike gets stuck and is not treated properly in time, it can become a life-saving procedure that requires surgery, which is often more costly than it is worth.

Many people have these adverse consequences due to fish sticks stuck in their throats, and the ultimate reason for this is that they do not deal with fish sticks stuck in their throats correctly and timely, especially swallowing rice and drinking vinegar to deal with the phenomenon of fish sticks being stuck is common. People always stubbornly believe that these native methods are useful, and lose the best time for treatment, resulting in serious consequences.

The fish spines are likely to be brought out together with the vomiting process. This avoids the risk of entering the body and stabbing other organs.
