I think I swallowed a fishbone. I feel a stron prick when I swallow my drink and sometimes out of no where. I swallowed the bone yesterday but while I was eating today I guess maybe it moved or something becasue it is hurting now? What should I do?
I tried eating cooked patato and banana, ive tried feeling for it myself but i am afraid to gag or make things worse???

Try eating bread or nuts.
Things that make you (sorry)poop. To get it out of you. If the pain is still there in a couple of days, call your doctor.
You might just be freaking out, I think you are totally fine, just worry about if the pain is there by wendsday or thursday.
Hope I helped!

You are probably over-thinking this.
The human body is perfectly capable of passing a small fish bone. It might be a but unplesant, but it's not seriously harmful. Eat like you normally would, and go to a doctor quickly if you experience any extreme pain.
People can swallow keys and coins no trouble (not that they should, but they can). Our digestive system can break things down really well, or else is just ignores it complete and wisks it through your body out the other end. So relax. If it was small enough for you to swallow it, it's small enough for your body to handle it.

Whenever I get a fishbone stuck there I eat dry bread but if you find that it changed go to the doctor. It's not safe.
