I accidentally swallowed my gum. What's going to happen?

Question

Well, I was chewing gum, and I coughed. That caused me to swallow my gum. It feels like something is on the back of my throat, but I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid. What will happen? Thanks!

 i kinda hav a habit of it! no worries nothing has ever happened. one when i got the chance i asked my doctor she said it's nothing to be worried about just try and keep it on the low and don't paranoid yourself! If it is causing pain i would say drink some water and maybe nap for half an hour and if it causes lots of pain go and see your gp which will most probably not be needed. In most cases it may just come out whilst you are doing a poo! Hope this helped you . :)
