Hey Reddit doctors, what would happen if someone accidentally swallowed a whole sachet of silica gel?
If you swallow a sachet of silica gel, it’s generally not considered dangerous, as the silica itself is non-toxic and inert. However, the sachets often contain a warning label that says “Do Not Eat,” mainly because they may contain additives or the sachet material itself could pose a choking hazard, especially for small children.
If you or someone has swallowed a sachet, monitor for any symptoms such as difficulty breathing, choking, or digestive issues. If any concerning symptoms arise or if you feel uneasy, it’s always best to contact a healthcare professional or poison control for guidance.
