A fishy episode


I had ikan terubuk last night and went thru a nightmare when a fish bone got stuck in my throat. I tried almost everything under the sun to remove the bone even ate more rice to force the bone down. Unfortunately, the bone remained stuck and I had to endure the discomfort the whole day attending a conference. I drank gallons of mineral water trying my best to flush it down. Tough luck, it didn’t work, the only good thing came out of it, is me heading towards the restroom every 10 minutes.

It got me worried so I drove straight to my favourite GP and Alhamdulillah he managed to remove the fish bone :P When he showed me the bone, I was soo relieved.

I wonder whether any of you might have encountered the same “tulang ikan tersekat” problem. Any tips?? I guess I will NOT be having fish for the next one week, taubat!!

Babe,

I'm prone to 'tercekik' tulang also whenever i have fish during my lunch or dinner. For me, petua yg paling mujarab yg i pernah buat all these while is when i tercekik, i swallow some white rice into your mouth. After that you will rasa lega.

But if still tercekik, better see a doc

I don't eat ikan terubuk because I'm afraid of tulangssssss. Anyway, yesterday I ate ikan selar goreng... still tercekik tulang. I did just like what A.E suggested, telan some rice, then drink some water. After the third attempt, baru lepas tulang tu.

AG,
I tried everything, telan nasi kepal and minum bergelas but the bone refuses to move. So I had no choice but to seek professional help. Lega when the bone was no longer around.

dnas,
nasib baik keluar. I wish mine was not soo dofficult. Actually we shld avoid ikan terubuk very dangerous!

UBA,
it didnt work for me..:(

sometimes I am OK..sometimes I can cry buckets...dugaan sungguh tapi I redha.

Hi Raz,
He used the forcep equipement but not the one with the sharp edges..the one he used is very the tumpul..hahaha seram jugak masa he masukkan the equipement dalam my mulut..He was an expert indeed...tak rasa apa pun but the tulang was kinda tebal and tajam..No wonder it felt really sakit..:P
