What can be pulled out should be fine. Pay attention to the condition of bowel movements for 2-3 days and check how the foreign object is expelled. Advice: Although the gum's gelatinous components are difficult to absorb, they will eventually be metabolized by the body and will never stick to any part of the body. Chewing gum constantly in the mouth can lead to swallowing too much air, which can easily cause abdominal pain. Therefore, it is best for children to eat less gum. To prevent accidents, it is best not to give children gum, as it offers no benefits and can be very troublesome if accidentally swallowed into the trachea. Feed the child more rough-fiber vegetables. The above is advice on the question "What should I do if the baby swallows gum?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
