Accepted Answer

Not measurable: The radiation for a CT scan will not increase your risk of cancer over your baseline risk, by a measurable amount. Each examination has risk and benefits and a balance needs to be struck.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you can swallow fluids without pain It is unlikely you have anything caught in your throat. If the supposed bone was ingested it will likely pass through over the next few days. Ingesting stewed okra can coat the object &amp; soften its edges as it passes. If you experience pain with any swallow, the only way to know the cause would be to have it examined.
