If you accidentally eat insects, you need to decide how to deal with them according to whether there is an abnormality.
If there is no discomfort, you can drink plenty of water to promote excretion and expel the insects. Because the human body has strong stomach acid, it will kill and decompose the insects that you accidentally eat, so it generally does not affect your health. Therefore, special treatment is usually not required if there is no discomfort.
If the patient has abdominal pain, vomiting and other discomfort, it is recommended to immediately go to the digestive department for gastroscopy, ultrasound, etc. to determine whether there is stomach tissue damage.
