What should I do if a 1.5-year-old child swallows chewing gum?

Patient's question:

No symptoms

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, gum can be excreted with stool.
Advice: The digestive tract contains a lot of digestive fluids. Even if there are indigestible components in gum, they will be excreted from the body along with stool. So there is no need to worry. You can try giving your child more foods rich in fiber and slightly higher in oil content for the next few days, and encourage them to drink more water.
Children with diabetes should be classified as having type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an absolute deficiency in insulin secretion and requires insulin therapy.
