Feeling Of Something Struck In Throat, Accidentally Swallowed Chewing Gum. What Could Be Done?
Last night I fell asleep with chewing gum in my mouth and I woke up and half was on the bed and I think I swallowed some as I feel like there is a small something down the side of my throat or down near my stomach I can breathe and eat fine but just feels a little annoying and feel a bit sick don't know wether Im just paranoid and there was something there and now gone or there is something stuck what can I do?

Hi
thanks for your question.
Do not worry, the chewing gum will go through the digestive tract with out any complication. based on my experience from children who have swallowed it, non have ever had complications.
Relax and know you are fine. Hope I answered your question.
