Garlic/sugar

Some notes when you have fish bone impaction
When you have fish bone impaction, the person affected should stop swallowing because attempting to swallow will increase the risk of the bone getting lodged deeper in the throat and potentially cause injury.
It is advisable to vomit as early as possible, and do not attempt to use the throat-hooking method as it can cause laryngeal burning due to acid reflux or a sensation of difficulty breathing.
In cases where the bone is large and sharp, it is recommended to see a doctor to avoid worsening the condition.
