May have swallowed small chunks of broken glass mixed with ice at the bottom of my cup. not sure. ate bread. should i go to er? no extreme pain yet

Usually not a proble: Small pieces of glass are not likely to cause a problem. No need to go the the emergency department to have stomach pumped. Likely these pieces will pass through your intestinal tract without causing damage. Unlikely signs of something more serious (go to er): 1. Severe abdominal pain 2. Vomiting up blood or coffee ground material. 3. Passing blood or black colored bowel movements.
