Any Suggestion For Lower Abdominal Pain After Swallowing Piece Of Glass?

hello im pretty sure last night at my bar-tending job I accidentally swallowed a small round piece of glass that i didn t notice. It came from the bottom of a broken bottle. I feel pains in my lower abdominal area but really need to avoid going to a hospital. I have no health insurance.

Hi.
Yes, a broken glass is a problem as it can be sharp at some spots.
Take banana.
More important is what are the symptoms and signs you have.
Is there nausea/ vomiting with blood or black stools?
Is the pain in lower abdomen sharp and does it increase on movements?
If there are no sign and symptoms as I described , do not worry. The nature has created the body mechanisms by secreting excess mucus and cover the foreign body. IT may pass on its own.
But remember the moment you feel something is amiss- go to the Doctor.
