I feel as if a very tiny fish bone is stuck behind my tonsils! although I am not sure whether its stuck or its the scratch that hurting. I tried eating rice, bread, banana and other home remedies but its not helping. It hurts only when I swallow! other times I don?t feel anything! the pain temporarily reduced when I did warm water with salt gargle! what should I do?

Olive oil, marshmallows, banana etc help. Or leave it alone. Some fish have more intricate skeletal systems than others. This can make them more difficult to debone. Generally, fish served whole are the riskiest. A few examples of fish difficult to debone entirely include: shad pike carp trout salmon assuming your breathing isn?t affected, you may wish to give it some time. However, confirm your throat is clear before going to sleep. If you?re having trouble breathing, go to the emergency room immediately.
