Suggest Treatment For Inhaling Shards Of Glass?

My phone screen cracked and I think I had shards of glass on my fingers from still using my broken phone and inhaled some shards while eating food and breathing. How would I know if I did or didnt? Can this harm me if I did? Or will my body heal itself?

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your anticipation of inhaling or eating a shards of glass from a broken phone I will suggest if want to know if there are the shards inside your body is to do an abdominal x-ray

Yes it depends on the size If the size is Small it will not but if it is big it is going to cause internal bleeding and the body will not be able to handle it

I hope this helps Regards
