1. Eat Banana
Believe it or not, bananas are very helpful if one mistakenly swallows fish bone. This is because bananas are very soft fruits, which can soften the throat, thereby making the bone to go into the stomach. This is one of the easiest ways to overcome fish bone.
2. Drink Olive Oil
Olive oil also serves the purpose of bananas, which is a lubricant to dislodge the position of the bone. So when fish bone is stuck in your throat, take a spoon or spoons of olive oil and dislodge the bone.
