I accidentally swallowed a piece of chewing gum while sitting, but right now I feel completely normal. Should I be worried or need to see a doctor, or is it usually not a big deal?

I'm a bit worried about my 7-year-old son. I used to give him PEDIASURE, but he started putting on weight and lost his appetite after around three years, so I stopped. I've heard people say that all those drinks are similar, and he was having COMPLAN too, but I've stopped that as well. I'm just trying to figure out what's true and whether I should be adding anything to his milk or just keep it plain. If I should add something, what would be best for him?
