I was at the drs office and my friend dared me to eat a cotton ball and i did and i didn't think about what could happen and now my stomach hurts

If it was dry OK: Let's hope it was dry and you just swallowed a dry cotton ball. If your doc for some odd reason soaked cotton balls in methanol you wouldn't be writing this, the medical examiner would be. And let's hope that when your friend dares you to drink hydrochloride acid because she read that humans have it in their stomachs you will take a pass on that dare!
