If you mean at the time it happens learn the Heimlich maneuver (I am debating how I should spell that because there are several options especially as I use British spelling here!) It is not easy to do it on yourself if nobody is around but they say it is possible, I have no intention of testing it! If has been lodged there for some time you need medical help to get it extracted.and the sooner the better.

In Japan, people will swallow a mouthful of rice to dislodge the bone from the throat. Similarly, you could try and swallow a mouth full of bread to try and wash the bone down.

^^ in the philippines (we eat alot of fish!) my mom says that you should eat a bannana...

See above answers. If you feel like trying them, and want to try the above suggestions, if it doesn't come out that way, get to an ER where a doctor can safely extract it. It can dig in deeper, shift position and possibly choke you, or scratch your esophagus. Good luck!

I tried rice, banana, bread..., only rice worked!! Never had such bad experience before having a fish bone stuck almost all day. It was RICE that saved me!

I tried rice and banana but none of them worked, i guess the only safe choice is going to the doctor.

Mine is a sardine bone - very very thin. I tried banana, rice, apple pieces without much chewing, different things. Now it is less obstruction, but still there. I doubt it has gone deep??? Plese help.Is it okay if it stays there, because it is very fine? Nita

well this sounds gross and tastes bad but works.....since fish bones are thin and calcium drink some vinager to soften the fish bone because vinager softens calcium then you should try the banana or rice

My dad had a friend who ate a lot of fish and always had trouble with bones getting stuck in his throat but he would just leave them until they poked out his neck and just shaved off the tips as they came out. He ruined a lot of his razors though.😖

I have heard that you can remove a fish bone from your throat by eating bread, I have never tried it as it has never happened to me though. but always worth a try.
