Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 4 year old son swallowed a fruit snack whole without chewing ~ 1 hour ago. He complained of small discomfort in his chest then his stomach a few minutes ago but doesn t appear to be in distress. Will the fruit snack dissolve or is there a chance it could get lodged somewhere and be a problem?
it can't be in the lung as there is still breathing.. it went to GI tract, but don't worry.. it won't be lodged in any other places.. calm down.. it will pass along the faces the next day
