Hi,I am Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Yes...I just took my Pm meds. Then I went back to get a glass of water for my room. I had taken off my stud earrings and had them in my right hand. Went to the frig April, got ice and then water. On reflex I put what was in my right hand (earrings) into my mouth, took water and swallowed. As soon as I did...I realized what I just did. 1/4 studs with back attached. What do I do now?
Hello ! Thank you for asking HealthCareMagic. I have gone through your question. You need to go to the hospital , the doctor will do s ome examiantion ( x-ray, ultrasound ..)to find out where the earing is . Acording to the result of examiantion will be decided for further intervention (gastroscopy..). It's important to find out where the the earing is to prevent any complications ( damage of your stomach, bowel...) .
Take Care !
