best and safest period of time is to get it done within 24 hours
of the onset of problems when u notice the problem. the area will
tend to swell up over time as the inflammatory cells will be
diverted from the blood to the local site of where the foreign body
(Fish bone) is and starts attacking it to remove the insult.
but it has to be borne in mind that not all fish bones are
calcified, hence it won't turn up in the x rays, but ENT surgeons
rely on other methods to check in the xrays for symptoms suggestive
of fishbone stuck in the area...
if you can localize the pain, all the better, meaning that the bone
can be easily identified...
