It's possible you could have acid reflux, or your esophagus is not working correctly. The esophagus is much like slinky (small bones) and perhaps one of the bones is out of whack. It's best to see a throat specialist.

Why do I experience sharp pain when swallowing?
Experiencing sharp pain when swallowing can be a concerning symptom that may have several potential causes. While I'm not a doctor, here are some possible explanations for this type of pain: Tonsillitis or Strep Throat: Infections like tonsillitis or strep throat can lead to inflammation and swelling of the throat. This inflammation can cause sharp pain when swallowing, especially if it is localized on one side. Pharyngitis: Pharyngitis, which refers to inflammation of the pharynx, can result from viral or bacterial infections. It can cause discomfort and sharp pain when swallowing, accompanied by a sore throat and swollen glands. Acid Reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation or sharp pain in the throat, particularly after eating or when lying down. Muscle Strain: Straining the muscles in the throat, often due to excessive shouting, talking loudly, or singing, can lead to localized pain and discomfort when swallowing. It's important to note that these are just possible causes, and a proper diagnosis can only be provided by a healthcare professional. If you are experiencing sharp pain when swallowing or any other persistent symptoms, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for an accurate evaluation and appropriate treatment. Please remember that this answer is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always seek the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider for any concerns or questions you may have about your condition. Visit - Secondmedic
Health hazards of swallowing your fingernails?
Not a lot... sharp edges may irritate the pharynx, trachea or osophagus (in laymans terms, throat, windpipe and the bit that connects the throat to the stomach).

Type your answer here... yes. It's just like an icicle. If you are under an icicle, and it falls, it can hurt you badly. Or kill you. If ice is sharp, then it's like a knife.

Can you eat fish bones?
It depends on the species of fish or the size of the bones. Because bones are pure calcium, they cannot be digested by the human body. Small bones such as those found in cod and haddock can be swallowed and won't cause too many issues. However small bones are also a choking hazard, especially for children. If your child starts choking after consuming fish, investigate the child's throat. If choking resumes, take the child to emergency services immediately. However larger bones can get caught in your throat or intestines. If stuck in your throat they can cause choking, by forcing the flap at the back of your throat (the epiglottis) to stay open, preventing air entering your lungs. If they are caught in your intestines, they can cause blockages and build-ups of waste food which will lead to chronic pain and stretching of the intestines due to gas build-up. Surgery may be required in this case. Some bones are also rather sharp and can slice the internal walls of your throat, stomach and intestines. If you feel a sharp cut in your throat or taste blood after accidently swallowing bones, see a doctor immediately. There is a myth that swallowing wet bread will dislodge large bones stuck in your throat. While in some rare cases that does work, it's not recommended. The bread could also get lodged with the bone and worsen the choking. Also, large bones are better out than in. Another myth is that you can get extra protein from eating bones. As mentioned above, the human body cannot digest bones. In summary, accidently swallowing small fish bones is fine and will exit your system with no complications. But larger or sharper bones could be a problem. You should never deliberately swallow bones.

What is the function of herons bill?
To catch fish, and other small yummy (to herons) animals. I see Herons around my pond a lot. They will spear the fish with their sharp bill and then flip it up in the air and catch it in their mouth and begin swallowing similar to a snake swallowing. You can see the fish body shape going down their throat as their neck bulges out. Pretty weird but very interesting.
