Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask, my child accidentally swallowed a piece of bubble gum, do I need to go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby swallows bubble gum, it won't have any impact on the baby. The main component of bubble gum is gum base, which is non-toxic. Don't worry, it won't stick in the intestines or stomach; it will be excreted with the stool. You can encourage the child to drink more water to aid in bowel movement. Although bubble gum is non-toxic, the child's digestive system is not very strong either. Try to keep the bubble gum out of reach of the child and avoid giving bubble gum to the child.
