What Will Happen If I Have Swallowed Two Stud Earrings?
I accidently swallowed 2 stud earrings monday morning, instead of the supplements I had in the other hand; and assumed they would pass. My throat is bothering me, and I suspect the backing to one of them may have caught in my throat, but didn t feel it much until yesterday in my throat. If that is what has happened what can they do to get it back out?

Hello
Please consult your doctor immediately. You will need an X ray to check wheter the studs are lodged in your throat if it is still there it can be removed through the mouth using an endoscope. Hope this helps
