Question
A 3-year-old child swallowed gum, not sure if there’s anything to worry about.
Answer
Hello, there’s no need to worry; gum is digestible. Guidance: It’s best not to give gum to young children as they are prone to accidentally swallowing it. If a child is diagnosed with diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
