Can Plastic Intake Accidentally Cause Any Harm?
I accidentally swallowed a small a small piece of plastic wrapper, it is very thin and the estimated size of it is about 1cm2 to 2cm2. I ve eaten a couple pieces of bread and have drank a couple glasses of water. Is there any concerns I need to know. I can breathe perfectly, I think I feel it at the end of my throat and it is stuck. Cheers, Chris

and welcome to Healthcare magic. Thank you for the query.
It may causes some problems very rarely and you should not be concerned. You should stay at home, take lot of fluids and watch for some signs such as sharp abdominal pain or blood in stool. It should normally pass within 24 hours and if there are no new symptoms then there is no need to see doctor.
Wish you good health. Regards
