Turkey bone lodged in throat area

The New-Test Forum - Sinuses

FromTo
i was eating some turkey meat from leftover baked turkey and as i was chewing i could feel something like a sliver in my mouth but i rechewed and couldn't find so i went ahead and swallowed. well, immediately after that i felt something get stuck on the left side of my throat. it was poking at me and felt as if it was stuck there. i tried eating bread, drinking syrup and even tried to vomit it out. nothing worked so after a few hours i decided to go to er. they did an x-ray and found nothing so they sent me home. that was 2 days ago and now it is throbbing and i feel something poking at me. i feel like it is lodged somewhere in the area of my tonsil. i went to ent specialist and he looked down there and said he saw nothing and that maybe it was the scratch that i was feeling. well it's getting worse. i can feel it in there. my question is if it's just hard cartlidge and it's not in my throat anymore but slid in somewhere else, will my body (tonsils or nasal juices) break it down? i don't know what else i can do. i know it's there. please anyone hear of anything like this before or can you advise me?fresnoborn

When I was around 10 years I swallowed a peanut shell and I felt it was stuck in my throat. My parents took me to the doctor but they could not find anything. About two weeks later, I was visiting a cousin and my Uncle noticed that I wasn't breathing correctly (I was sleeping). He call an ambulance and rushed me to the hospital. They did an xray and found the shell. It lodged in the moist throat area, rooted, and was growing. They removed it by suction tube - I was out, so completely painless. The hospital kept it for study - never experienced that before. If you did not get an xray - you may want to go back to the er.
God bless.

well i went back to ent specialist for second time and this time he went in through my nose with scope light and found sliver of turkey bone and pulled it out through my nose. thank god. it was hurting me so bad i didn't even want to get out of bed. he put me on antibiotic and gave me nose spray for inflammation. sheesh, what an experience. i had that darn thing in there for 4 days and it was rough. it was lodged near my tonsil and worked it's way up to my sinus area. i am just so glad it's out. good thing it didn't decide to root and grow, i woulda had one humungous turkey growing out my nose......lol
