What are the ill effects of swallowing soft vinyl?
Patient: Hi there, just came back from the er with my 9 month old, earlier this evening he swallowed a quarter size thin peice of what feels and looks like soft vinyl, his breathing was great and his throat clear, but i m still worried about this damaging him. It came off of a soft toy ball which was made in 2002, I m also a little worried about what kinda chemicals could be in the peice he swallowed. This happened almost 8 hours ago now, if there was anything toxoc would he have developed symptoms by now? Doctor: Hello,No need to any worries if eight hours are passed and no symptoms appeared. Check for a cough and vomiting and monitor for pulse and temperature.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,Dr. Hina Javed
