What should I do if the child accidentally swallows chewing gum?

Patient's question:

This year, my child is 13 years old. Her father bought a box of XIAMEN chewing gum. She asked me for some to eat, and I gave it to her. But she accidentally swallowed it without realizing it. Now she says she feels a bit like vomiting. I was so scared! I’m really worried about what might happen to her! I heard it can stick in the intestines—is that true?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! There is such a situation. Based on your description, it is not easy to determine the current severity. Recommendations: It is recommended to closely monitor the condition and, if necessary, go to the hospital for comprehensive examinations and relevant treatments. There are many causes of childhood diabetes. If the child is confirmed to have childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and maintain a balanced diet.
