Is it dangerous for a 2 yr. old to swallow gum?!


Question: Is it dangerous for a 2 yr!. old to swallow gum!?
My 2 yr!. old daughter just swallowed 6 bars of gum!. Do you think it is dangerous for her!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Not really!. The gum is indigestible and just passes all the way through the digestive system and gets passed out!. The only risk is if the wad of gum is big enough to choke one but if it makes it to the stomach it is a non issue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nah !.!.!. the only danger is choking!.

If she's already swallowed it, she'll be OK!. It'll come out the other end ;) !.!.!. just like everything else!.

Kids eat the strangest stuff! My son once ate a paintball pellet, and another time ate an Easter egg dye tablet (he thought it was a Sweet-Tart!) !.!.!. but that's a whole 'nother story !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

why are you letting such a small child eat that much candy in the first place!? is there something wrong with you!? will you care if your kid has a mouth full of of silver caps!? give the kid some damn fruits or somethingWww@FoodAQ@Com

I don't reccomend giving a 2 year old gum in the first place!. I think she'll be fine though as long as it went down, the worst could be a tummy ache!. Lots of water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope,
as long as it went down, she's fine!.
Babies can choke on anything, so you always ( as you did here) have to be on the alert!.

if she is acting stranger or chockng maybe not even breathing regularly than thatsnot ok but if she seems normal than its no problemWww@FoodAQ@Com

If she hasn't shown any signs of choking yet- she's going to be just fine!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont think so, just make sure it went down!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
