Does Eating Of Glass Affect Brain Growth In Child?
my 2 years old swallowed small of glass a year back. he broke a glass show piece and was eating it. I took him to the hospital but the doctor said that glass pieces can not be detected in x-ray and that he looks fine and may not have swallowed it. can it effect his brain development?

Hi Dear
welcome to the HCM.
Brain growth is not going to be affected any way by just eating glass in child hood.
There might be some bleeding in the GIT during passage of glass through the GIT.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
