Will stomach acid dissolve a small peice of plastic like lego?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach acid/lego: A plastic lego will not usually dissolve in stomach acid. If you swallowed a small lego and it did not choke you, then it probably passed into the stomach. It most likely will pass through your intestines and appear in your poop. If it does get stuck, you will have problems. Discuss this with your parents. Check your poop. Tell your parents what happened and tell them if you are having pain.
