Patient's question:
Doctor, our one-year-old child accidentally swallowed a piece of bubble gum. Do we need to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
The main ingredients of bubble gum are edible gum, sugar, and flavoring and coloring agents. If swallowed, it will be excreted with the stool. Although this type of bubble gum cannot be swallowed, it does not pose significant harm to the body if accidentally ingested. Currently, consuming a moderate amount of dietary fiber, and remember to give your baby plenty of water and fresh fruits and vegetables can promote intestinal movement. Hello, don't worry, as long as you drink more water and eat more fruits, vegetables, celery, and chives, it can help form and expel stool.
