Patient's question:
The baby is one and a half years old. The night before last, while eating dinner, the baby got a fishbone stuck in their throat. They immediately started crying, (vomiting their throat with their hands), and I was terrified. I quickly helped the baby vomit their throat, and they spit out some saliva. Then, we immediately went to the hospital's emergency department. When the baby got off the elevator, they stopped crying, and they fell asleep on the way to the hospital.At the hospital, the doctor used a flashlight to look, but couldn’t see the fishbone. They suggested observing carefully, but since I was still worried, they decided to do a throat examination.
It’s already the third day since the incident. Over the past two days, the baby has been eating, sleeping, and taking naps normally, and their appetite is quite good. Did the fishbone from the night before already come out?
Doctor's answer:
Through your description, the fish bone stuck in the throat has become very small. It's also possible that it was swallowed dry into the stomach. If it's inside the stomach, there's no need to worry anymore. Generally, it will be excreted through the stool. Just pay close attention to your stool in the next few days.

Finally, wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
