How To Confirm If A Candy Stuck In The Throat Has Passed Through?
My daughter swallowed a whole butterscotch hard candy... she said it was stuck in her throat. How do I know if it passed? She is not showing any distress... her oxygen is 98%. I have her drinking warm water as a precaution. She's autistic and it's hard to get direct answers from her.
At early stage of swallowing it may cause stretch of esophageal mucosa and irritation to it may lead to pain. But after it may dissolved then leads mucosal pain.
So you may try Mucaine gel for temporary relief of esophagus irritation.
Still have doubt please consult your pediatrician/gastroenterologist, he will do upper GI scopy and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
