Question
What should I do if I accidentally swallow bubble gum?
Answer
Accidentally swallowing bubble gum usually does not require special treatment. Since the mucous membrane of the esophagus and the entire digestive tract are moist and soft, the bubble gum has minimal adhesion on the moist mucosal surface and can be expelled naturally through normal eating. It is recommended to drink more warm water and consume more liquid foods to aid in expulsion. We hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
