I swallowed a fish bone (trout) at dinner. it didn't get stuck in my throat, but i've heard it can be dangerous. what signs should i watch for?

If it did not get: stuck in your throat, chances are very high that it will pass in your stool in 2-3 days without any problems, assuming your intestinal tract is normal. If you develop any abdominal pain, you should seek medical care.
