I accidentally swallowed a fish thorn and since then, it feels like something's stuck in my throat. Whenever I swallow, there's this little pain, and I'm not sure if the thorn is still there or if it caused a scratch. I've tried some home remedies, but it hasn't gotten better. Could you give me some advice on what I should do next?
