How To Treat Accidental Nail Glue Swallowing?
Hi, around two hours a go I got nail glue in my mouth whilst trying to open it, it all dried on my tongue and teeth, I brushed and scrubbed my teeth and tongue and managed to get it off. I still have a bit of glue on my teeth although my main concern is that I may have swallowed some, my throat and mouth feels dry and my throat feels tight I also have irritation slightly, like a faint tickle in my throat. It feels sticky. And my stomach also feels weird and I feel quite ill. Should I be worried? Or leave it be?

Hi....thanks for writing to HCM....there is nothing to worry...i dont think that any amount reached your stomach...that feeling will take some time to go...a day or two...nothing will happen to you...just relax....you are just anxious...thats it...you can do warm saline gargles in the night before sleeping...
