Question: I swallowed two pieces of broken china plate, while eating. I think that they were smaller than a pea. This was about 90 minutes ago. I am 70. I have no digestive problems. I don't seem to be feeling any adverse effects. Thanks!

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM.

Nothing Specific needs to be done!!
Just be watchful for any abdominal complaints as precaution only, over next 18-24 hrs.
These 2 china plate pieces shall pass unevenfully and naturally without causing any problems.
As the size is smaller than pea, no obstructive/ digestive complaints would arise from these 2 broken china plate pieces.
