Swallowed An Earring

Post by jennyt1984 »

Okay this is really weird and don't ask how it happen because I don't know how it did.



Anyways....I swallowed an earring last night on accident. It was a dangle one, not very long but a good size. I don't know what to do. lol. Should I wait 3 days to see if it comes out? Also I really don't want my parents to know about this so any suggestions to keep me out of the hospital or doctors would help me.



THanks

That can be really bad for your intestine so I would tell your parents. If you feel any tummy cramps or sharp pains with in the next couple of days, call your doctors office.

yeah it could really be bad...like a sharp area (probably the point that goes through your ear) could actually punchure or slice some organ (i think that that would eb the worst case senerio)...

i say that if you don't want others to know then just to see if it does come out and if you do have any pains or anything...

but personally i would probably go to the doctor - i don't know why you don't want your parents to know but i mean it could do some internal damage...

To be honest, the only responsible thing we can suggest is that you tell your parents (I'm sure they will understand it was an accident) and seek medical advice.



Take care,

Is there a reason you don't want your parents to know? Some reason you feel you need to stay out of the hospital? I think you really should tell them, to be safe. Otherwise an earring can do serious damage!
