Question

How should you handle a child accidentally swallowing gum?

Answer

If the child does not experience vomiting or other discomforts, there is usually no need for special treatment. Drinking plenty of water can help expel the gum from the body. However, when dealing with such situations, general treatment methods are typically adopted. Parents should use the correct handling techniques to help their child recover quickly and avoid any impact on their growth and development. Therefore, it is recommended that parents closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention promptly.
