Airpod swallow suspected

2021-06-20 06:23:45
Hi, I suspect that I have swallowed one airpod( Bluetooth wireless earphone) while sleeping. I don't have any complications as of now. Just needed to know what can be done in this case. Its plastic coated from outer, does it have a chance for becoming poisonous in stomach? I can eat, drink well without any issue. Thanks.

If you are very sure that you had swallowed and usually it is highly impossible but still you can take plenty of water and it at least four to five Bananas and take fibre food for few days and meanwhile go through the ultrasound abdomen &chest X Ray So that you can find  your answer. Once the doubt comes please clear it by going to the above investigations and if you want any details you can contact me I will explain you what to do

You cannot swallow it in your sleep. That's impossible. You will choke or have difficulties swallowing atleast. If you suspect someone else: child or low IQ person has swallowed it : do an emergency xray. Airpods have magnets and lithium batteries  both are dangerous to life. An emergency surgery is needed to remove them.

search your bed again. if you have pets, get them checked too.
