Suggest Ways To Remove The Swallowed Piece Of Plastic With Diiziness
I am 36, 11stone, had asthma as a child. I swallowed a small piece of plastic bag(the type you buy clothes in over the internet) a couple of weeks ago. I have had shortness of breath for the past week and tonight have become very dizzy. It feels like it is still in my throat. Any ideas?

Hello,
You can go for a laryngoscopy to look for any retained bits of plastic in the throat. The shortness of breath is unlikely related to the plastic piece.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
