When children accidentally swallow gum, it is usually excreted in the stool in about 1-3 days, and the longest time is about 1 week. The main components of chewing gum are edible sugar and gum, which is soft and can be digested and dissolved by strong gastric acid in the stomach, and usually can be excreted with the stool in about 1 day. After swallowing gum, you can drink more water, add more crude fiber vegetables in the diet, such as celery, cabbage, leeks, etc., to promote gastrointestinal motility. In general, as long as there is no accidental inhalation into the respiratory tract, or stick to the esophagus, the impact on the human body is not significant, without undue concern. If breathing abnormalities as well as abdominal distension, abdominal pain and other discomforts, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner. If there is constipation, you can take some anti-diarrhea drugs to promote the discharge of chewing gum. In general, we should strengthen the guidance and education on dietary hygiene and safety knowledge for young children to avoid the occurrence of accidental ingestion.
