Possible fish bone in throat

I had no signs of a sore throat yesterday. I was out in the wind alot yesterday. I ate some fish for supper yesterday and I found some fish bones in my trout fillet. I had almost got through eating and I think I may have swalled a fish bone. I ate some loaf bread and everything but it still hurt on the left hand side of my throat. I did wake up this morning with alot of drainage and my throat is sore on the left side. That is the side I usually lay on. I do not want to rush to the doctor because I can still swallow it just is sore. Do you think I possibly swallowed a fish bone? I also want to know if it will dissolve on its own or will I have to have it removed by a doctor. Also, how many days should I give it before I go to the doctor as long as I can still swallow food? My throat is still sore.
