A member asked:
I accidentally swallowed a cod fish bone while eating at dinner last night. it got stuck in my throat for a second and then went down. could the bone damage any intestines after going down? does the body process down the bone?

Swallow a bone: There are two outcomes. The bone passes, or it gets stuck. Small bones have a tendency to pass. You can see a doctor, who can start with an x-ray to see if it passed
