Swallowed broken glass in my home sandwich? sand-like crunch then felt glass shard. no blood?
Afraid maybe I swallowed a tiny fragment. What symptoms should I look for? Have been paranoid all night and now I have a sore throat, but maybe psychosomatic.

Not to frighten you, but I would make a trip to the ER. Even if it was a tiny fragment, it could become trapped in your intestinal tract and cause trauma, bleeding or an infection. If it was me or someone I care about, I would insist on getting checked out by a doctor to prevent any potentially health or life threatening problems.

You’re worrying yourself a bit too much here. Hey, can’t be as bad as the time I swallowed a penny. It truly came out the other end! You’ll be fine! As the old saying goes, “And this too shall pass!”
