Chewing gum

Question

Chewing gum

Asked for Male, 17 Years

“Three days ago, I accidentally swallowed a chewing gum. Since then, I feel mild one-sided abdominal pain. Gas and stool are passing, sometimes with slight difficulty, sometimes normal. There is no vomiting or bloating. Should I go for an ultrasound/sonography or is this pain due to normal digestion/spasm?”
