A member asked:
I think my child ate a small piece of foam rubber...he seems fine but will it pass through okay?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably it's ok: Foam is unlikely to cause big problems. Watch for sights of trouble breathing or abdominal pain. If these develop seek medical care immediately. However, it will likely pass through in 2-3 days.
