I swallowed a tiny piece of foil with my kit kat. will i be ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. As a general: rule, if it's small enough to swallow easily, it's small enough to pass through your digestive tract. The exception of course is something that might injure your intestinal tract. A small piece of this type of foil will safely pass through. No worries!
