Can Plastic Stuck In Throat Cause Any Danger To An Infant After Its Removal?

my one year old daughter had a small piece of plastic stuck between the roof of her mouth and her throat,but my wife removed the plastic and my little girl is able to drink now. she was taken to urgent care but the doc there said he could not do a xray on a one year old and he also did attempt to look at her throat.

Is there anything we should worry about?.

Thanks for asking. In my opinion there is no danger to your child at present. There may have been minor injury while removing it but nothing serious. She can drink so no need to worry.
