A perch got stuck in my throat while fishing.

On June 21, the Giong Rieng District Medical Center ( Kien Giang ) announced that doctors there had just performed an endoscopy to remove a foreign object, a perch, that had penetrated deep into the patient's lower throat.

Previously, Mr. T. (55 years old, living in Kien Giang) was hospitalized in a state of severe bleeding from the throat.

The doctor removed a foreign object, a perch, from the patient's throat.

The family said that while fishing and caught a perch, Mr. T. accidentally opened his mouth when the fish suddenly jumped out of his hand, fell into his mouth and went down his throat.

The family tried every way to get it out, but because the fish had gills and hard fins, it got stuck in the patient's throat, causing more serious damage and bleeding.

The doctors quickly examined the foreign object, the extent of the injury, and its location to determine the appropriate treatment. The doctors then removed the fish from the patient's throat and performed an endoscopy to monitor the wound.

The foreign object was a perch that caused severe damage to the patient's throat.

After removing the fish, the patient was in so much pain that he could not swallow due to severe throat damage. The doctor gave him IV fluids, painkillers, and blood-clotting drugs to help him recover gradually. Only then could he eat soft foods. After 3 days of treatment, the patient recovered.

Doctor CK1 Nguyen Hoang Quy, Head of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Giong Rieng District Medical Center, said that patients with foreign objects that injure their throats (like Mr. T. who had a perch stuck in his throat) should eat soft foods and avoid hot foods after being discharged from the hospital to help the wound heal quickly.
