What happens when you swallow a small piece of plastic?

Swallowing a small piece of plastic typically passes through the digestive system without causing harm, as it is not digestible and may move through the intestines and exit in stool. However, there is a risk of choking or potential blockage, especially if the piece is sharp or large. If you experience pain, difficulty swallowing, or any other concerning symptoms, it's important to seek medical attention. Generally, small, smooth pieces of plastic are more likely to pass without complications.
