I accidentally swallowed a small piece of a toothpick, probably about a quarter of it, and now my throat feels a bit strange. I dont have any other symptoms, but I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about this? What should I do?

Since you've swallowed a small piece of toothpick and aren't experiencing severe symptoms, monitor your condition closely, and seek immediate medical attention if you notice any signs of intestinal perforation, such as severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or difficulty breathing; however, if your symptoms remain mild, it's likely the toothpick fragment will pass through your system without issue.

I have multiple gallstones measuring 45 mm and I'm wondering if surgery is my only option right now. I've been sticking to a diet of just carrots, cucumbers, oranges, and apples with no other food can this kind of diet along with medication actually help dissolve the stones or should I consider other treatments?
healthy diet can help manage gallbladder symptoms and reduce the risk of new gallstone formation, it's unlikely to dissolve existing gallstones, especially those as large as 45mm. Surgery is often the recommended treatment for larger gallstones and those causing persistent pain or complications
