I'm concerned i swallowed a fish bone at dinner without knowing. i woke up and my throat feels scratchy. i'm not sure if my symptoms are from anxiety or real. is there anything i can do to put my mind at ease from home?

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 & 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.
