Patient's question:
A 15-year-old child accidentally ate bubble gum modeling clay and had no reaction after eating it for two days! No symptoms! Will it come out if it stays in? What if it doesn't come out? Will it stay in the stomach and cause other diseases!Doctor's answer:
The modeling clay itself is non-toxic. Usually, if a baby accidentally ingests it, there will be no abnormal reactions. If there are no physical discomforts, it will generally be excreted from the digestive tract. You can give the baby more water, eat more rough fiber foods and vegetables to accelerate the excretion of the modeling clay. You can also apply warm compresses and perform clockwise abdominal massages to promote its early removal from the body. If the baby has no discomfort symptoms, there is no need to worry.
