Ate paper with plastic
My daughter ate wrapper of a straw today. She choked for 2-3 seconds but then she regained and now is behaving normally. After that she ate cerelac, breast feed and now playing. I saw that wrapper and found that on the outside it is paper and it has a very thin plastic lining inside. Is there anything to worry about? I will go to my doc tomorrow but I am very tensed that's why I am asking..Please help

Don't worry and be careful in future.as most accidents occur between 12 to 24 months of age.
Increasingly feeding rice and banana will nullify any problem a plastic can cause in tummy.
