Agh! Fishbone!

    After eating mackerel (smoked, quite nice with a bit of ketchup fyi) I've gotten a nasty little fishbone stuck in my throat. It's quite high up and is causing discomfort on two fronts; firstly, it jabs me every time I swallow and secondly, it triggers my gag reflex every couple of minutes. I am loathe to admit I already coughed up a little vomit, but I assure you in a very polite manner!

    Needless to say, the bone's gotta go. Suggestions? Stories? Sexual innuendos?

    Yikes! Very sore. I've always sworn by a good fresh piece of bread since the same thing happened to me as a child. Hurts a little but the theory is that the bone will become lodged in the dough and come out.

    Happened to me when I was younger. Try eating a big hunk of white bread and it should move it for you.

    Oh thank God, the bread thing worked. Turns out the trick is to take the biggest mouthful of bread possible. Now I have to go and eat a couple of cubes of butter to balance out the universe.

    You guys should set up a small ENT practice :P
