Brief Answer:
Be calm..There is nothing to be bothered about!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about what happened yesterday. There is nothing to be worried about. This chicken splinter will pose no problem to you. It will get churned and chopped into pieces by the acid and digestive processes in the intestines and it will pass out without posing any threats to your health.

Be calm about this. There is nothing you need to do. There is no need to seek any further medical attention at this time because nothing is in danger.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I should not be concerned in the slight pinching sensation to the left of my navel ?

You shouldn’t be concerned now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You shouldn’t be concerned. All I ask of you is to put an eye on this pain and report any changes. Your knowledge of what happened yesterday for sure is making this pinching sensation to be more noticeable and bothersome to you. Be relaxed and we will monitor and address any concerns accordingly.

Keep me posted!
