Is it possible for the tempered glass screen protector to pierce the gastrointestinal tract if my child, who is 9 months old, bites through it?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I want to ask that my child is 9 months old. I cleaned the house, but I didn't see her pick up the phone. Then she bit through the tempered glass film and probably swallowed it. Could it puncture her gastrointestinal tract? I'm very worried.

Doctor's answer:

In such cases, there's generally no need to worry. If a small amount of screen protector is ingested, it is highly unlikely to cause any harm. In such situations, even if a small amount enters the body, it will not cause any harm to the gastrointestinal tract. Don't overworry, and closely monitor the child as well. Feeding the child some vegetables, fruits, and roughage can help with bowel movements. Alternatively, you can give the child some lactulose, which can also help slow down the elimination process.
