Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and I have recently been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took isn't very effective. What will happen if the baby swallows bubble gum?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main components of chewing gum are non-toxic rubber, sweeteners, and flavoring agents. Moreover, chewing gum is soft and will not harm the stomach or intestines, and it can be excreted in the feces within one or two days. Pay attention to the condition of your stool for 2 to 3 days to check if any foreign objects have been excreted. Even if it is not excreted with the stool, if your mood and appetite gradually improve, there is no need to worry. After accidentally swallowing, if you are becoming less willing to eat milk and your mood is poor, often crying, it may be because it is stuck somewhere, and you should go to the hospital for a check-up.
