Is Accidental Ingestion Of Plastic A Cause For Concern?
Hi! I swallowed a small peace of plastic a few hours ago. I can eat and breathe properly, but somehow, I can still feel the plastic piece stuck in my throat. I have tried drinking water and pushing it down the throat and even tried vomiting out but it hasn t come out. Though I can eat and breathe properly, I still feel a little uncomfortable. Should I seek medical attention?
it might probably a false perception. anyhow, if you really think , there is something stuck, try eating some soft food alongwith liquid simultaneously. hope it helps.
if still NOT comfortable, then better to visit a doctor.
regards, Dr Tayyab Malik
