Fish bone stuck in throat
I have a fishbone stuck at my right tonsil...it is very thin and i dont feel any sensation but i could still see it... I've seen a doctor and he said it can dissolve by itself.. the doctor tried to pull it out but my gag reflex was to severe... should i leave it to dissolve since i dont feel any pain??
