According to local media Workpoint News, Samran (45), who lives in Thailand's Petchabun province, had an accident in which a thorns swallowed penetrated the skin next to his neck while eating fish soup.
The news was made public when her husband Suryan released a photo of his wife on social media.
He said "Always be careful of thorns when you eat fish""You can get deeper while trying to push it in with your hands" he warned.
According to her husband, Samran felt sharp pain after chewing the part containing eggs while eating fish soup boiled at home at the time. It was a casual swallowing of a hidden thorn. She and her husband tried unsuccessfully to swallow more food and push the bones down, following traditional therapy, and the sharp spines remained stuck in their necks.
I visited the hospital, but the doctors couldn't find any abnormalities because the X-ray showed no fish bones.
As a result, the couple returned home for now, but two weeks later, they began to swell with neck pain. They visited the hospital again because they suspected thyroid disease or cancer, but they did not receive an accurate diagnosis this time.
Since then, the symptoms have worsened, and Samran has endured the pain with a patch of pain ingredients. However, two days after applying the patch, she felt a foreign body feeling like a thorn poking inside her skin, and the moment she removed the patch, she found a thorn poking out of her skin.
After identifying the exact location with CT images taken at the hospital, surgery was performed to remove about 2 cm long fish spines. The medical staff explained that it is the first case in which a fish thorn has penetrated the skin after being swallowed.
Samran is currently in stable recovery after surgery, and there are no special sequelae.
This case remains an example of raising awareness of thorns when eating fish dishes. In particular, folk remedies that swallow bread or rice and force it to be pushed when a thorn is stuck can pose a risk.
Experts say that even small fish bones can cause significant damage to major organs such as the esophagus, airways, blood vessels, and thyroid glandHe advised that if this paint persists, visit an ear, nose, throat, or emergency room immediately and undergo a thorough examination such as an endoscope.
