A member asked:
After eating a chicken bone by mistake how long before you know you'll be okay? how long would it take to dissolve or pass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Choking...: ...is the biggest problem with eating a chicken bone. If it went down past your throat and isn't causing you immediate discomfort, it's unlikely it ever will cause a problem. Bones usually dissolve in stomach acid within a few hours.
