Suggest Tests To Identify Accidental Intake Of Glass Piece Into Body
yesterday, by accident my 9 month old might have swallowed a broken glass piece. I tried to look for that pc. but wasnt able to locate. I am very worried what if he would have swallowed it? He appeared okay, play ful and smiley...as always. No changes in behavior. Watched his stool as well. Can't see anything, no blood or any signs of glass. Should I be worried?

I had gone through your query and understood your concerns.
If it is a glass piece i advise you to get an endoscopy done to rule out that it got stuck in stomach which can be removed by endoscopy
As it is a glass it can cause damage to stomach if left like that
