I was using baking soda last night to brush my teeth and was scared i accidently swallowed a little.Sure enough right before i fall asleep dead tired my stomach starts hurting intensely, this continued for a long time and i couldnt bear the pain any more so i took an activated charcoal tablet, I finally fell asleep last night but today, by insides hurt alot my stomach, maybe my intestines I dont know.Is there any way i can make myself feel better,i am worried i have damaged the intestinal/stomach lining. I heard this can cause serious stomach damage taken undisolved baking soda.I try to avoid antiacids to drink and am worried this could mess me up, how long until I feel better and anything i can do to help.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorAny chemical agent is harmful to our body the antiquity of that chemical agent is matter and all chemical agent has its fix lethal dose, if the quantity of backing soda is up to the lethal dose then it is medical emergency if not then conservative treatment would be enough and will make no harm baking soda does not cause any corrosive or inflammation to inner lining of stomach if taken in small quantity but of course will disturb the acid base balance, if ingested in large quantity, have nice day
