A woman in Thailand needed surgery after a fishbone that became lodged in her throat slowly pushed its way out through the side of her neck, according to a report by the Bangkok Post.The case was shared publicly by her husband, Suriyan Bubpha-art, 43, who posted photos and a warning on Facebook.He said his 45-year-old wife had eaten fish soup, not realising there were sharp bones in the belly meat. “She spooned it into her mouth, swallowed, and immediately felt pain,” he wrote.At first, the couple tried to manage the problem at home. They followed a common traditional method eating more food to try and push the bone down. When that didn’t work, she used her finger to press the area inside her mouth, hoping to dislodge it.But those efforts only made things worse. The bone went deeper into the tissue, causing swelling and discomfort.Mr Suriyan said they visited a hospital, but doctors could not see the bone on an X-ray and believed it had passed through the digestive system. She was sent home with medication.Over the next two weeks, her pain grew worse. “She began showing signs that looked like thyroid inflammation,” Mr Suriyan told Bangkok Post.Story continues below this adA second hospital visit also failed to detect the problem, and she was sent home again. Eventually, the pain became severe, and she placed a pain-relief patch on her neck. On the second day of using a new patch, something sharp began to break through her skin the tip of the fishbone.Her husband took her to Bueng Sam Phan Hospital in Phetchabun province. This time, X-rays confirmed the presence of the bone. Doctors carried out immediate surgery and removed it.They said it was the first time they had seen a case like this.
