Infant With Plastic Piece Stuck To Roof, Round Mark On Removal, Suspicion Of It Having Caused Disturbance In Sucking. Treatment Required?

Hi, yesterday i found a flat round shaped plastic piece in my daughter s mouth. It was stuck on the upper area of her mouth. We took it out but there s a round mark on her upper mouth. We suspect the thing was stuck in her mouth for about 2 weeks coz thats when she refused to drink milk from bottle and stopped pacifier coz its disturbing for her to suck. Should i bring her to Dr to check just in case..

thanku for your query,
well i understand for your concern , if the plastic was in her mouth for two weeks ,which is least expected , u need to show her to pediatrician as a foreign body was there for a long time , it might have caused some allergic reaction or some infection locally, and u have symptoms of child not drinking properly .
I hope i have answered your query,
God bless
