According to information, a five-year-old child in the state of Ohio swallowed 40 chewing gum and doctors had to undergo surgery to remove the blockage in his stomach. Because this chewing gum got stuck in his intestine and his digestion was affected.

Doctors then learned that the child had swallowed 40 pieces of chewing gum the day before. Due to which a tumor-like condition was also created in his stomach. The doctors decided to operate after examining the abdomen.
