Accidentally swallowed plum kernels may cause certain effects on the organism, which may include damage to the esophagus and gastric mucosa, nausea and vomiting, stool abnormalities, abdominal pain, choking and coughing, and respiratory difficulties.
After accidentally swallowed, the plum kernel will enter the gastrointestinal tract through the pharynx and esophagus, which may cause nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, hyperactive intestinal sounds, epigastric fullness, and abnormal stools in the organism. If it enters the trachea, choking and difficulty in breathing may also occur.
If the patient has no abnormal reaction, after the doctor’s judgment can be observed at home, usually 1-3 days can be discharged from the body.
If abnormalities occur after accidentally swallowing plum kernels, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner for early and regular treatment.
